Benefits

Your Core Benefits

Eligibility

Full-time employees working 30 or more hours per week are typically eligible for benefits. Eligible dependents generally include your spouse, children under 26 (natural, step, adopted, or under legal guardianship), and adult children over 26 who are unable to support themselves due to disability.

Qualifying Life Events

Changes to benefit elections outside of open enrollment require a qualifying life event reported to HR within 30 days:

  • Marriage or divorce
  • Birth or adoption of a child
  • Change in a child's dependent status
  • Death of a spouse, child, or qualified dependent
  • Change in employment status affecting coverage under another employer-sponsored plan

Frequently Asked Questions

When do my benefits start?

The current plan year is listed at the top of this page. If you're a current eligible employee, your coverage continues throughout the plan year. See the New Hires section for details on what you'll need to enroll.

What if I miss the enrollment deadline?

If you miss your initial enrollment window, you'll need to wait until the next Open Enrollment — or experience a qualifying life event (marriage, birth, etc.) within the past 30 days. Outside of those windows, mid-year benefit changes generally aren't allowed.

Where do I find my insurance ID cards?

Most carriers offer ID cards through their member portal or mobile app within a few weeks of your enrollment. You can also reach out to the carrier directly using the contact information in the Carrier Directory. If you can't locate yours or have questions, contact your Benefits Team for help.

What happens to my benefits if I leave?

When your employment ends, your benefits will continue through the end of your termination month or until the date specified by your plan. You may be eligible to continue coverage through COBRA — your HR team will provide details and election forms. Contact your HR team for plan-specific information.

Who do I call with claims questions?

For claims questions, contact your carrier directly using the phone number in the Carrier Directory. For help understanding your benefits, deductible status, or what's covered, your Benefits Team can also assist.
