Reporting changes

You must notify AGA Benefit Solutions within 60 days of change in your own or your dependants' status resulting from marriage, divorce, separation, termination of a conjugal relationship, death, change of residence, birth or legal adoption.

The majority of status changes may be reported using the "Notice of Change" form available from AGA Benefit Solutions.

If you provide notification after 60 days, the change will take effect on the first of the month following notification.

Births

Your newborn children must be added to your plan as dependants, within 60 days from the date of birth.

Divorce

In the event of divorce, please notify AGA Benefit Solutions. If your divorced spouse and/or dependent children wish to continue with similar coverage on an individual basis, they can contact Manitoba Blue Cross for more details.

Termination of coverage

If you want to leave the plan, please notify AGA Benefit Solutions. Once notice of termination is received, your coverage will automatically be cancelled, and you will not be allowed to rejoin the plan at a later date.

To continue with similar coverage on an individual basis, contact Manitoba Blue Cross for more details.
