Page 6 - Allegacy 2019 Benefit Guide Part Time

How do I enroll?

When you become eligible for the benefits at Allegacy, you will be prompted to make your benefit
elections via our online enrollment system, Ascentis. For subsequent elections at annual enrollment
periods, you will make all new benefit elections and changes in Ascentis as well.

When Coverage Begins and Ends

Full-time employees are eligible for benefits on the first day of the month following 30 days of full-time active
employment. Coverage for medical, dental and vision ends on the last day of the month following the date of
termination. For example, if you terminate on March 15 , your medical, dental and vision coverage will continue
th
st
through March 31 . Please note that Basic Life/AD&D, Voluntary Life, Short Term Disability, Long Term Disability and
Allstate Worksite (Cancer, Accident and Critical Illness) coverage end as of the date of termination. You will be offered
Cobra continuation for medical, dental and vision coverage if enrolled prior to coverage termination (see Cobra
statement pgs. 27-28). Your worksite policies through Allstate will convert to a direct billing at your home and as long
as you elect to continue the policies and remit the required premium directly to Allstate, your Allstate coverage(s) will
continue. Some life insurances may be continued as well; however, you must contact the carrier and complete the
required paperwork within 31 days of your termination date. You may contact UNUM about continuation at 1-866-679-
3054.

How/when to make changes

Unless you have an IRS recognized Qualifying Life Status Change, you cannot make changes to the benefits you elect
until the next annual enrollment period. Qualifying Status Changes include events such as marriage, divorce, legal
separation, birth or adoption of a child, change in child’s dependent status, death of spouse, death of child or other
qualified dependent, change in residence due to an employment transfer for you or your spouse, or a change in spouse’s
benefits or employment status. You have 30 days from the date of the qualifying life event to notify Human
Resources of any changes to your benefit elections.
