Life Events and Pre-tax Benefits
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations permit employees to drop, add or change benefit plans paid with pre-tax dollars during the plan year when a “qualifying status change” occurs. Changes to benefits choices must be made within 30 days of the status change.
Qualifying status changing events include:
- Marriage
- Divorce, legal separation or annulment
- Death of employee, spouse or dependent
- Birth, adoption or placement of adoption of child
- Employment status changes for the employee, employee’s spouse or dependent, e.g., beginning or ending employment (including retirement) or unpaid leave of absence
- Dependent turning aging 26
Except for these types of events, employees may only change their pre-tax benefits choices during the annual open enrollment period.
Generally, changes may be made to benefits paid with after-tax dollars at anytime.

College Credit Plus
If you’re a high school student now
College Credit Plus (CCP) is an opportunity to earn both high school and college credits at the same time — at no cost to you. Students who are eligible to participate in CCP can pursue, and in some cases complete, a certificate or an associate degree while in high school.
Private Education Loans
Before you apply for a private loan, you must file a FAFSA to determine if you are eligible for federal aid [grants, Direct Student Loans, and PLUS (Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students)]. The terms and conditions of a Federal Direct Student Loan may be more favorable than the provisions of a private education loan. COTC does not endorse any private educational loan lender or lending program. Borrowers may choose ANY eligible, participating lender.
