Change of Circumstances

Government permits a change of benefit coverage during the plan year if a qualified change in information occurs. In such cases, or if employees are uncertain about their rights and responsibilities, they should contact the Portfolio of the Civil Service, their H.R. Manager or Head of Department as appropriate. Pensioners should contact the Public Service Pensions Board to discuss the necessary documentation requirements. Qualified retirees (who are not pensioned) should contact the Portfolio of the Civil Service. The following is a chart indicating legal documents required, based on the type of change in information:
