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.

There will be three separate dates and locations for eligible employees and spouses to complete their blood draw.

Incentive 

Our goal is to have at least 75% of Village-insured employees participate in this year's program! Therefore, we need at least 230 insured employees to participate. Last year, the Village had a total of 203 employees participate in the program so this goal is very reachable! 

The Village is very committed to this program and the more of you that participate, the higher the value of the gift card! Employees that successfully participate in the Empower wellness program will receive a gift card after the program conclude in Spring 2025. 

• 125 employee participants - receive a $100 gift card
• 150 employee participants - receive a $150 gift card
• 230 employee participants - receive a $200 gift card

All active employees that successfully participate in the wellness screening program will be entered into a raffle for a chance to win a prize valued at $1,000 or $500!

Please note - the Empower wellness screening incentive program is available to employees, and their spouses, on one of the Village’s medical insurance plans. Gift cards are provided only to employees (not spouses) who (1) are active Village medical insurance participants at the time of distribution after the program concludes in Spring 2025, (2) complete the online Health Risk Assessment, and (3) participate in the blood draw (or submit a completed Health Provider Form).

If you have questions, please feel free to review the Empower program brochure or contact the Human Resources Management department at 847-781-2690 or hrm@vohe.org.
