Enrolling in Benefits
Benefits coverage for full-time employees begins on the first of the month following 60 days of employment, and you have 30 days to elect your benefits or make changes after a Qualified Life Event.
Eligible Dependents
When you enroll yourself in medical, dental, and/or vision coverage, you may also cover your eligible dependents, including:
- Your legal spouse or qualified domestic partner
- Children under the age of 26, regardless of student, dependency or marital status
- Children who are past the age of 26 and are fully dependent on you for support due to a mental or physical disability and who are indicated as such on your federal tax return
