Who’s Eligible to Participate
You are eligible for medical, dental, vision, life, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, and disability coverage if you regularly work at least 30 hours per week. If you are considered a full-time equivalent employee under ACA, you are eligible for medical insurance only.
Your effective date of coverage is the first day of the month following 60 days of employment in a benefits- eligible position. An enrollment window is provided each year so you can review and change your coverage
(if necessary) for the next plan year beginning January 1.
In addition, you may cover eligible dependents under
the plans offered by Corizon Health. You will be required to provide copies of eligibility documents to enroll your eligible dependents. If the required documents are not received within 30 days of the effective date of coverage, your eligible dependents will be dropped.
Examples of documentation include:
A legal marriage certificate (spouse),
A birth certificate (children), or
A completed Corizon Health Domestic Partner Affidavit. Note that this will be the last year that Corizon Health offers Domestic Partner coverage.

Payroll Deductions
Deductions are taken each pay period, for the current pay period, not in advance. Deductions are not prorated; a full deduction will be taken for each pay period in which you are covered by benefits. If you do not receive a paycheck, you are still responsible for paying required monthly contributions to maintain your benefit coverage.
