Relocation
In rare instances, reporting a change of address through Benefits Connect can affect Benefits Plan coverage.
When relocation affects medical benefits:
Unlike Benefits Plan members in the United States who have medical coverage through Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, missionaries serving the Church in other countries enroll in GeoBlue medical coverage, and members in Puerto Rico have coverage through Triple-S. If one of these members (and/or eligible family members) were to move to the United States (or a member in the U.S. were to move to Puerto Rico or another country), a Board representative would contact them to handle the transition of coverage from one plan to another.
When relocation affects dental benefits:
When dental coverage is offered by the employer, members are eligible for at least one of the available options (PPO, DMO, or passive PPO) — depending on where they live. When a member reports a change of address in Benefits Connect that would affect the dental coverage options available to them, a Board representative will contact them to review options and process applicable changes in coverage.
