Life Happens...
If you experience a life changing event and would like to know if you can make changes to your benefits, please follow the steps below.
- See the Plan Change Matrix provided by PEBB to learn what benefit changes you can make with the life change.
- Download and complete an update form from the Forms page on the benefits website. You will find a form for medical/dental benefits and one for life/disability insurance.
- Send the completed form(s) to the University of Oregon benefits office. If you are increasing your life insurance or your spouse's life insurance, this requires a medical history statement to be mailed or submitted electronically to Standard Insurance. Both formats can be accessed from the Forms page under "Other Forms".
