Eligibility & Making Changes

Eligibility 

As a full-time teammate, working at least 30 hours a week, you are eligible for benefits on the first of the month following 30 days of employment. The following dependents are eligible as well:

• Your legal spouse or domestic partner
• Your natural, adopted, or stepchildren up to age 26
• Children of any age if incapable of self-support due to mental or physical disability

When Can You Enroll?

• Within 30 days of your eligibility date
• During the annual Open Enrollment period
• Within 30 days of a Qualifying Life Event (QLE)

Making Changes 

The choices you make when you first become eligible (or during open enrollment!) are in effect for the remainder of the plan year. Once you are enrolled, you must wait until the next open enrollment period to change your benefits or add/remove coverage for dependents, unless you have a qualified change in family status as defined by the IRS.

Examples include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Marriage, divorce, legal separation
• Birth or adoption of a child
• Change in your work status that affects your benefits
• Change in eligibility for Medicaid or Medicare

Note: You have 30 days from the life event date to make changes to your coverage.
