Eligibility and Making Changes

Eligibility

If you’re working 30 or more hours per week, you are eligible for benefits on the first of the month following date of hire.

Your dependents may also be eligible for many of the benefits we offer. Eligible dependents include:

  • Spouse or domestic partner
  • Dependent children up to age 26
  • Disabled children of any age

Enrolling & Making Changes

The choices you make when you first become eligible are in effect for the remainder of the plan year. It’s important to review your benefit options carefully and choose the best coverage for you and your family.

You have three opportunities to enroll in, or make changes to, your benefits:

 

  1. Within 30 days of your eligibility date
  2. During the annual Open Enrollment period
  3. Within 30 days of a qualifying life event. Examples include:
  • Marriage, divorce, or legal separation
  • Birth or adoption of a child
  • Death of a dependent
  • Loss or gain of other health coverage for you and/or dependents
  • Change in employment status
  • Change in Medicaid/Medicare eligibility for you or a dependent
  • Receipt of a Qualified Medical Child Support Order
