Eligibility

If you’re eligible for benefits, you can enroll yourself, your spouse/domestic partner and/or dependent children in medical, prescription drug, dental and vision coverage, plus other voluntary and financial benefits. Your benefits are effective on your first day of employment or the day you become eligible for benefits.

Note: If you change from part-time to full-time or vice versa, the changes to your contributions will go into effect the first of the month following your status change.

Who’s Eligible

You’re eligible for benefits if you’re a regular, full-time employee (36 or more hours per week) or a benefits-eligible part-time employee (generally 20–35 hours per week) of the Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) of Southeastern Connecticut.

Note: For non-union employees enrolling in the YNHHS Medical Plan, eligibility is a minimum of 24 hours per week, and domestic partners are not covered.

If you’re eligible, you can also enroll these dependents:

  • Your legal spouse
  • Your domestic partner (HDHP only)
  • Your dependent children under age 26:
    • Biological children
    • Stepchildren
    • Adopted children, including those placed for adoption
    • Foster children
    • Any children for whom you are responsible per court order
  • Your dependent children over age 26, if fully dependent on you for support due to a disability and covered by you prior to age 26

Note: To enroll your dependents, you’ll need to provide applicable supporting documentation, like a marriage certificate, birth certificate, court order or federal income tax return. For details, visit HRConnect.
