Change in Marital Status

Getting married or divorced are complex life changes with many legal and practical details to consider - from changes to your name and dependents to updating benefit elections and beneficiaries.

In addition to all the decisions about wedding or household arrangements, you will also want to think about how the change in your marital status will affect your Phillips 66 benefits coverage.

What to Consider

To help you think about how your life change will affect you, review the following list.

  • Change your last name and address on file with Phillips 66 through HR Connections at 1-855-480-6634.
  • Update your personal information through your local Social Security Administration office and Department of Motor Vehicles.

Life changes can be stressful. Lyra Mental Health and Well-Being Resources has information and online tools to assist you during this time.

The changes available to you, and the deadline for making changes, depend on your situation.

If your spouse has employer-provided coverage, compare plans to see which coverage you are now eligible for and best suits your needs. If you have children, whose employer plan will cover them going forward as dependents?

Consider if you'll need to contribute or increase contributions to the Health Care and Dependent Care FSAs. If you participate in the HDHP with HSA medical option, consider if you'll need to increase or decrease contributions to the Health Savings Account (keep in mind that the IRS annual limits is different for individuals and families)

Consider if you need to elect spouse life or AD&D insurance.

With a growing family, you may want to re-evaluate your saving and investing strategy.

  • See Savings.
  • Consider participating in financial well-being webinars offered periodically through our financial partners.

With any change in marital status, it's a good idea to ensure your beneficiary designations are current.

  • Update your W-4 with your marital status and any personal tax changes through My HR Tools.
