General: Can I add my spouse onto my account, or contact information, to be allowed to make changes or requests?

Your spouse is not an eligible employee under the plan and cannot be added to the account as an account holder under the plan except for an amount or portion of the account awarded to your spouse pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (usually due to dissolution of marriage). Only the eligible employee and account holder can make changes or requests to the account. However, you can give permission for your spouse to receive information about your account and to discuss your account with your provider, TDS or your employer. No information will be provided to your spouse without your express consent.
