How to View and Edit Dependent Information - Employee

If you have a spouse or dependents on file, you can view and update their information under Dependents in your Account area.

Who can view and edit dependents

Employees who have completed benefit enrollment and have at least one spouse or dependent on file can open Dependents. This page lets you edit existing people only—you cannot add or remove dependents here. Add spouse and dependents during benefit enrollment when that step is available.

To view and edit dependent information:
Open Account from the account menu. For steps, see How to Access Your Account from the Account Menu - Employee.
  1. In the left navigation, select Dependents.
  2. Review the Spouse and Dependents tables on the page.
  3. Select Change Dependent Information.
  4. In the Change Dependent Information window, update First Name, Last Name, Gender, Birthdate (MM/DD/YYYY), and SSN for each spouse or child as needed.
  5. Select Save.
Your changes save to the dependent record right away. They do not reopen your benefit elections. If you need to change coverage, contact your employer. Your employer can open a Qualifying Event or Correct Mistake enrollment when appropriate.
