How to Notify
You can notify Transocean of a Qualifying Status Change online at YourTransoceanBenefits.com. You will need to log into your account and select “Change Your Coverage” at the top of the page. Then, select the type of qualifying status change you are making (i.e., marriage, having or adopting a child, etc.). If the change you are making is not listed, select “Coverage Changes Elsewhere” or "Miscellaneous Changes" and follow the prompts to process your change. If you have a question or wish to complete your status change via phone, you can call the Benefits Center at 1 855 RIG 5005 or +1 646 259 0401, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Central Standard Time. Please refer to the Summary Plan Descriptions (SPDs) of each plan on Rig Central for a complete list of qualifying events. After you have added a new dependent, you will receive information from the Dependent Verification team about how to provide the required documentation.
