Enrolling in Benefits
Benefits coverage for full-time employees begins on the first of the month following your date of hire, and you have 30 days to elect your benefits.
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

Common Qualified Life Events Include
- Marriage
- Welcoming a new child
