Benefits
for New Dependents
New dependents may be added to your health plan within 31 days after
a Family Status Change. A new spouse will be covered the first of
the month after the marriage. A newborn is covered from birth. Newly
adopted and foster children may also be covered under your health
plan.
There is life insurance available for spouses and dependent
children. A spouse may have $10,000 to $50,000 worth of life
insurance. This coverage must be less than half the total of basic
and supplemental life insurance carried by the employee.
Dependent children may be covered by $5000 or $10,000 worth of life
insurance.
Supplemental Accidental Death and Dismemberment insurance is
available for family members and can be added within 31 days of a
family status change.
A new spouse may be added to your dental plan. Remember that when
you add one eligible dependent, all must be covered.
Domestic partners may be added to your benefit programs within 31
days of new eligibility (six months of residing together).
University policy requires completion and submission of a notarized
Affidavit with supporting documentation for financial
interdependence. Contact the Employee Health, Benefits, and Payroll
office at 581-2360 for more information. Eligible domestic partners
may be eligible for health insurance, life insurance, dental
insurance, and tuition waivers.
