Our health coverage runs from Jan. 1 - Dec. 31 of each year. Employees, spouses and children who meet the eligibility requirements below are eligible for coverage by our benefits program.

For new hires or newly benefits-eligible employees, you have 30 days from your date of hire or benefit eligibility date to complete your enrollment.

Once completed, your coverage begins right away. If you do not complete your enrollment within this timeframe, you will not be able to elect benefits until the next scheduled annual enrollment period or within 30 days of a qualifying life event.
