Eligibility

Here’s who’s eligible for benefits. Decide who you want to cover.

• The basics

  The benefits coverage you’re eligible for depends on whether you’re full-time or part-time. You may enroll dependents but they must meet certain requirements. Learn the details so you can decide who to cover.

• You

  • If you’re a permanent part-time or full-time Mountaineer scheduled to work 21 hours or more per week.

  • If you’re a bargaining unit Mountaineer, you’ll follow the Collective Bargaining Agreement regarding any benefits-related programs. (You can contact your union representative for more information.)

• Spouse/Partner

  • Your legal spouse or partner (same- or opposite-sex) is eligible. Your spouse is the person you’re legally married to; your partner is the person who you’ve been cohabitating with in a common-law relationship for at least one year.

• Children

  • Your unmarried children under age 21.

  • Your unmarried children between the ages of 21–26, if they’re full-time university students.

  • Your unmarried, legally adopted children, stepchildren or foster children who live with you, and your partner’s children who live with you. (Grandchildren aren’t eligible.)

  • Your unmarried children, at any age, if they’re primarily supported by you and incapable of self-sustaining employment due to mental or physical handicap or disability. (Disability has to occur prior to age 26.)

  Are You a New Hire?

  Most of your benefits take effect 30 days from your hire date, but this varies based on the amount of time you’ve been with Iron Mountain. Check out the Benefits Overview to see when your benefits become effective.
