Who, How and When to Enroll

Benefits Eligibility

All regular salaried and full-time hourly teammates are eligible for benefits after 30 days of continuous full-time service. You must enroll within 31 days of becoming eligible or wait until the next Benefits Annual Enrollment period unless you have a qualifying life event.

You can also cover eligible dependents in various plans. Explore the sections below to see who you can cover, and more on how and when to enroll.

• Covering Dependents

  Medical, prescription drug, dental and vision

  Eligible dependents include:

  • Your legal spouse for federal income tax purposes

  • Your same- or opposite-sex domestic partner

  • Children to age 26, including stepchildren, children of your domestic partner (if you are covering your domestic partner), adopted children and children legally with you awaiting adoption

  • Children over age 26 who are not able to support themselves due to a physical or mental disability

  Dependent life insurance

  Eligible dependents include:

  • Your legal spouse, as long as he/she is not a teammate

  • Your domestic partner of any gender, as long as they are not a teammate

  • Your children to age 26

  • The children of your domestic partner (as long as he/she is not a teammate) to age 26

  If both you and your spouse or domestic partner are eligible teammates, your children can be enrolled as dependents under only one plan. Your domestic partner’s children can be enrolled only under his/her dependent life insurance plan. And neither of you can be covered under each other’s dependent life plan since you are both already covered by the basic life plan.

• Submitting expenses for dependents

  Unlike other benefits, you don’t cover dependents under the Spending Accounts (FSAs, HRA and HSA), but you can use the accounts to pay for eligible expenses for eligible dependents.

  Eligible dependents for the Spending Accounts include your:

  • Legal spouse for federal income tax purposes

  • Children you can and do claim on your federal income tax return

  • Parents and spouse’s parents, if you can and do claim them as dependents on your federal income tax return

  Eligible dependents for the Dependent Daycare FSA include your:

  • Dependent children under age 13 when the care is provided and who you can claim on your federal income tax return

  • Spouse who is physically or mentally not able to care for him/herself

  • Dependent who is physically or mentally not able to care for him/herself and who you can claim as an exemption on your federal income tax return

  You cannot use the FSAs to reimburse expenses for your domestic partner or their children.

• Verifying dependent eligibility

  Any time you add dependents to your medical, prescription drug, dental, vision or dependent life insurance benefits, you are required to verify their eligibility for coverage by supplying supporting documentation. Make sure you have this documentation ready when you are ready to add your dependent(s).

  Affordable Care Act (ACA) regulations require the Company to report all covered teammates and dependents to the IRS.
