No, changing employment status from full-time to part-time is not a special qualifying event that allows an employee to add anyone to their coverage or make any change. If the employee is no longer working 30 hours per-week over the applicable period under federal law, they are no longer an eligible employee for coverage and they will be dropped from the plan.
Recently, I’ve had an employee who has changed employment status from full-time to part-time. Would this be a special qualifying event that would allow the employee to make coverage changes?
