Qualifying Life Event

A qualifying life event gives benefit eligible employees a special enrollment period to make changes to their benefits, outside of open enrollment. These changes are effective immediately pending submission of all required documentation within 30 days of the event. Benefit changes must be consistent with your life event/status change.

Examples of qualifying life events include marriage, divorce, birth/adoption of a child, loss of other coverage, entitlement to Medicare, etc. 

For more information about qualifying life events and the required documentation, please click here. If you have any questions about qualifying life events, contact the Human Resources Management department 847-781-2690 or at hrm@vohe.org.

PlanSource Employee Self-Service Portal

All benefit-eligible employees will complete their open enrollment selections within our new, easy-to-use, employee self-service portal, PlanSource!

To access your PlanSource employee self-service portal follow the simple instructions below.

  1. Go to https://benefits.plansource.com/.
  2. Your username is the first letter of your first name, the first 6 letters of your last name, and your employee ID number. For example, employee Sarah Anderson (employee ID: 10234), would have the following username: sanders10234.
  3. Your initial password is your date of birth in YYYYMMDD format. You will be prompted to create a new password. For example, with a birth date of January 7, 1968, your initial password would be 19680107.
