Election Changes. Eligible employees may enroll or decline coverage in the flexible spending accounts during the annual open enrollment period. Once an election is made, it must remain in effect for the entire plan year. An employee may not drop coverage, change an election, or cease contributions at any time during the plan year unless there is a qualifying change in employment or family status, as defined by the IRS. For any qualifying change in family or employment status, an employee must make the appropriate change in coverage within thirty-one calendar days of the date of the qualifying event. Under the pre-tax insurance premium option, an employee's election for the plan year is automatically continued for the next plan year unless a new election form is submitted.
