Eligibility

Active, regular, full-time employees working a minimum of 25 hours per week are eligible to enroll in benefits. Benefits are effective on the first of the month following your waiting period.

You may also enroll eligible dependents in certain benefits.

Eligible Dependents
  • Your spouse;
  • Your same-sex or opposite-sex domestic partner;
  • Your dependent children up to age 26 (regardless of marital status), including a natural child, stepchild, domestic partner’s children, a legally adopted child, a child placed for adoption or a child for whom you or your spouse are the legal guardian;
  • Your unmarried children age 26 or older who are mentally or physically disabled and who rely on you for support and care; and/or
  • Children of a same-sex or opposite-sex domestic partner relationship, up to age 26 (regardless of marital status).
    • Note: Your domestic partner must also be enrolled in order to cover their child.
Domestic Partner Coverage

You may cover your same-sex or opposite-sex domestic partner for certain benefits. IRS regulations mandate that the value of the health care benefits are considered taxable income. Contributions for the domestic partner and domestic partner’s children need to be made on an after-tax basis.  

Making Changes to Your Benefits

The benefit choices you make upon initial enrollment or during the annual Open Enrollment period will remain in place until the next annual Open Enrollment unless you experience a qualifying life event. Qualifying life events include:

  • Marriage

  • Birth or adoption
  • Child reaching benefits age limit
  • Change in spousal employment status
  • Death

Should you or your dependents experience a qualifying life event, it is your responsibility to contact your AspenHR Representative within 30 days of the qualifying event to ensure continued coverage for those who are eligible.
