How do I add my new spouse to insurance coverage?
A spouse can be added to coverage within 30 days of the marriage date as a qualifying life event. Due to processing time, this must be completed within 27 days in Zenefits.
To complete the application, either a photograph/scanned copy of the marriage certificate is required.
- Log into the Zenefits dashboard.
- Go to Medical, Dental, or Vision Insurance app.
- Click on the Make Changes button.
- You'll need to input your qualifying life event (QLE) and select the date the QLE occurred.
- Before making your enrollment changes, click Estimate My Costs to see what your changes will cost.
- You'll be prompted to upload an image of the corresponding documentation for the QLE (marriage certificate).
- If you don't have the proof of eligibility on hand, you can skip uploading the document by clicking the I don't have my documents-upload later link. You will need to upload the document within 27 days of the QLE or your application will not be submitted to the carrier.
- Go through the enrollment process for coverage and click Sign & Submit.

It typically takes between 2-3 weeks for the carrier to review your application. We will email you as soon as we have received confirmation you have been approved for coverage.
