I've experienced one of these life-changing events:

Birth, Adoption or Placement for Adoption
To enroll your new child for benefits, you must log in to benefits.ehi.com to enroll your child within 31 days of the birth, adoption or placement. Benefits for your new child become effective on the date of the birth, adoption or placement for adoption. Payroll deductions begin with the next administratively possible paycheck after the coverage effective date.

Marriage
To enroll your new spouse for benefits, you must log in to benefits.ehi.com to add your spouse within 31 days of the marriage. Benefits for your new spouse become effective on the day of the marriage. Payroll deductions begin with the next administratively possible paycheck after the coverage effective date.
