New Employees
New employees must enroll within 31 days of hire date. Your benefits coverage will begin after 31 days of employment.
Many of the plans allow you to cover your eligible dependents, which include: ·
- Your legal spouse or common law spouse*
- Your children up to age 26, regardless of student, marital, or tax-dependent status (including a stepchild, legally adopted child, a child placed with you for adoption, or a child for whom you are the legal guardian)
- Your dependent children of any age who are physically or mentally unable to care for themselves
NOTE: You may need to provide proof of your dependent’s eligibility, such as a marriage license, birth certificate or court document.
*Common law spouses are only eligible in Texas.
