Eligibility

A Full-Time Employee of the Employer who regularly works 30 or more Hours of Service per week will be eligible to enroll for coverage under this Plan. Participation in the Plan will begin as of the first day of the month following the date he or she reports for employment with the Employer provided all required election and enrollment forms are properly submitted to the Plan Administrator. You are not eligible to participate in the Plan if you are a part-time, temporary, leased or Seasonal Employee, an independent contractor or a person performing services pursuant to a contract under which you are designated an independent contractor (regardless of whether you might later be deemed a common law employee by a court or governmental agency), or a person covered by a collective bargaining agreement that does not provide for participation in this Plan.

Legal spouses and dependent children are eligible for enrollment under the Edmund Optics group health plan. Dependent children can remain covered under the medical, dental, and vision plans until the end of the calendar year in which they turn age 26. Disabled dependents may be eligible to be covered beyond age 26. Please ask Benefit Guardian for additional information.

As a full time employee with Edmund Optics you are eligible to enroll in all of the benefit offerings. If you decide to waive coverage during your new hire period you will have to wait until Open Enrollment to make a change to your coverage unless you have a qualified life event. Qualified events include:

• Marriage/divorce
• Birth or adoption of a child
• Change in child’s dependent status
• Death of a dependent
• Change in spouse’s benefits or employment status

If you experience a qualified change in status, please contact HR within 31 days of the event.

Open Enrollment: Annual open enrollment period is in the fall, with changes effective January 1st

All benefit eligible employees will be REQUIRED to log into the UKG portal to enroll in benefits.
