Benefits Change Connection
Financial Support
When a child no longer meets the IRS financial support test, eligibility for most IU-sponsored dependent benefits ends. You must notify the university within 30 days when you or your spouse (you and the child’s other parent in the case of divorced parents) no longer provide over 50 percent of the child’s financial support. The university will initiate the following actions:
- The child’s medical and dental coverage is discontinued
- COBRA is offered
- The child becomes ineligible for the IU Tuition Benefit
To make changes to any of the plans listed immediately below, you will need to complete 
the Change of Status form and 
the subsequent personalized benefit enrollment form. Step-by-step instructions appear on the respective plan pages below. You must make the change within 30 days.
- Decrease coverage level.
Health Care:
- Decrease election if consistent with change.
Dependent Care:
- Decrease election if consistent with change.
(Consistency rule is satisfied if change corresponds with change of status that affects either eligibility for coverage under Plan or eligibility of expenses under applicable IRS regulations.)
