Health Insurance
The NC State Health Plan, administered by Blue Cross Blue Shield of NC, offers two plans to eligible employees:
How to Enroll or Make Changes to Your Coverage
Eligible employees and dependents may enroll within 30 days of hire or qualifying life event. Changes can be made with a qualifying life event within 30 days of the event.
eBenefits - to enroll for active employees
State Health Plan Required Documentation for Qualifying Life Events & Dependent Eligibility
Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRS) provides guidelines for a Qualifying Life Event (QLE) status change. Employees must upload documents into eBenefits to verify the QLE in accordance with State Health Plan rules within 30 days of the QLE or 60 days of becoming entitled to or losing eligibility for Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Employees are also required to provide documentation of a dependent’s eligibility when added to the Plan due to a New Hire event, a QLE, or during Open Enrollment.
