The changes you make must be consistent with the event.

Required documentation
Some documentation may be required. Acceptable forms of documentation may be a marriage certificate, divorce decree, benefit confirmation statement with dates, employer letter with dates, etc.
If you are enrolling new dependents under your medical, dental or vision coverage, you must submit documentation verifying that they are eligible for coverage under Albertsons plans.
Download a Dependent Verification Requirements Flyer which lists the allowable documents you can submit to verify your dependent’s eligibility to be covered under Albertsons healthcare plans. If you cover a domestic partner, a declaration of common law marriage or an affidavit of domestic partnership is required.
