Getting married is an exciting moment in life. Before you walk down the aisle, there are a few things you should consider.
Ensure your new spouse has coverage.
You can update your benefits to reflect your new family status. In MyADP, you can:
- Add your new spouse to your coverage
- Remove a dependent if needed
- Enroll yourself or dependents if you’ve lost other coverage as a result of the change
Spousal Exclusion Reminder: You cannot cover your spouse or partner under a Kimball International medical plan if they are eligible for coverage through their own employer.

Secure your shared future.
Don't forget to harmonize your financial plans as you blend your lives. From boosting your HSA contributions to re-evaluating your 401(k) goals, here's how to secure a prosperous future together.
- Maximize your accounts: If you are enrolled in a health plan with an HSA and add your spouse, you can increase your HSA contribution up to the IRS family limits. See the Benefits Guide for more information.
- Evaluate your savings strategy: Discuss your long-term strategy with your spouse. Are you setting enough aside in your 401(k) to reach your goals? Retirement may seem like a long time away, but remember, making small contributions each paycheck can yield a big savings balance over time.
Update your beneficiaries.
Review your beneficiary designations on your life and AD&D insurance, 401(k), HSA (if you’re currently enrolled), and any other financial investments and policies to make sure your assets are allocated to the right person.
Welcoming a child into your family is a joyful and life-changing experience. There are several important factors to consider as you get ready for this exciting new journey.

You may qualify for up to 12 weeks of unpaid Family Medical Leave (FMLA). This leave runs concurrently with any paid leave. To understand your leave options, contact your MCR Business Partner.
Evaluate your coverage.
As your family grows, be sure to review your coverage.
- Medical: Add your new bundle of joy to your health plan within 60 days of the child’s date of birth.
- Life insurance: To ensure your family is protected, you may need to increase your coverage.
- Legal needs: Do you need a will or other legal documents to protect your family? The EAP can help with legal consultations.

Update your beneficiaries.
Review your beneficiary designations on your life and AD&D insurance, 401(k), HSA (if you’re enrolled in the HDHP with HSA), and other financial investments and policies to make sure your assets are allocated to the right person.
