If the change pertains to one of the following, please see Change or Update Primary Account Holder.
- Death of account holder when the account is going to be assumed by the spouse/domestic partner or immediate family member.

- Account holder is moving and the account is going to be assumed by an ex-spouse/domestic partner, immediate family member, or roommate currently listed as an authorized user on the account.
Accounts are only eligible for Change of Account Responsibility if there are telephone number(s) and/or video equipment that will be assumed by the new account holder.
