Marital Status Change
A change in marital status (i.e. marriage, divorce or legal separation) allows an employee to make appropriate changes to his or her benefits. An employee may add or remove their spouse from benefits as appropriate. Changes will be effective on the first of the month after the marriage, divorce or legal separation is final.
Employees must complete the change online to add or remove their spouse. The date the Marriage, Divorce, or Legal Separation was finalized must be noted. All changes must be processed using the benefits enrollment system in ConnectCarolina (Log into ConnectCarolina –> Click on Self Service –> Click BENEFITS ENROLLMENT).
