Enrolling in Benefits
Non-Union Employees are eligible for benefits on:
- Your first day of employment if you are a full-time salaried, non-union employee.
- The first day of the calendar year if you are a non-union, hourly, part-time employee who worked between 1,560- 2,079.99 hours in 2025 (prior calendar year).*
*Part-time employees are eligible for Medical/Rx, Dental, and Flexible Spending Accounts.
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 domestic partner (your domestic partner is eligible for benefits if he or she is not a relative and has lived with you for at least 6 months, in a committed relationship).
- Your child (up to age 26) who is your biological child, stepchild, legally adopted child, or child for whom you have obtained legal guardianship.
- Your dependent children must be either:
- Under the age of 26.
- Or any age if the dependent child is mentally or physically disabled before reaching the age 26, depends solely on your support and is receiving Supplemental Security Income benefits as a result of the disability.
Making Changes After Open Enrollment
After Open Enrollment ends, you cannot change your benefits and will have to wait until the next Open Enrollment—unless you experience a Qualified Life Event (QLE) (such as marriage, birth, or loss of coverage).
If you experience a Qualified Life Event, you must change your benefits elections within the 30 days following the QLE.
Common Qualified Life Events Include
- Marriage
- Welcoming a new child
- Loss of coverage
- Leave of absence
- Loss or change in employment
