### Mid-Year Election Changes

When employees request mid-year benefit changes, the rules aren’t always straightforward. In this session, we’ll examine the interaction between HIPAA special enrollment rights and Section 125 cafeteria plan election change rules, highlighting when changes must be permitted—and when they may be restricted. We’ll also explore key differences between requests to add coverage versus drop coverage mid-plan year, helping employers administer changes consistently and compliantly.
