If you have a new dependent as a result of marriage, birth, adoption or placement for adoption, you may be able to enroll your dependents.

To be entitled to special enrollment because of a new spouse or dependent, you must either be covered or eligible to be covered under your plan.  You must complete and submit an enrollment form to the Trust Fund Office, along with any necessary official documentation, within 31 days from the date of your marriage or the date you acquired a new dependent.  In the case of a newborn or adopted child that is added to COBRA coverage, the first 60 days continuation coverage is measured from the date of birth or placement for adoption.
