Eligibility

Who's Eligible?

At Aegis, we prioritize the well-being of all our employees, whether they work full-time or part-time. We believe that every member of our team deserves access to certain benefits that enhance their quality of life and support their professional journey. Therefore, all employees, regardless of their hours, are eligible for some of the benefit offerings. However, full-time employees are eligible for all benefits offered by Aegis. We're committed to ensuring that each individual feels valued and supported in their role, with benefits tailored to meet their needs and contribute to their overall satisfaction and success.


Benefits Available to ALL Employees

The following benefits are available to all our team members:


Benefits Available to FULL-TIME Employees

Full-time employees are scheduled to work at least 30 hours/week and are in a full-time position in UKG.

Our full-time employees are eligible for all the benefits mentioned above as well as our health and welfare benefits plans:


You may enroll your spouse and eligible dependents for medical, dental, vision and dependent voluntary benefits. Your eligible dependents include:

  • Your lawful spouse or domestic partner. If you want to add a domestic partner to coverage, please complete the Domestic Partnership Affidavit; you will see this form after you enroll online at UKG Pro
  • Your children up to age 26, regardless of marital or student status
  • Your dependent children, regardless of age, who are physically or mentally incapable of self- support

 
When Does Coverage Begin?

All benefits are effective the 1st of the month following your date of hire. (i.e.: hire date - 4/15/2024 and effective date - 5/1/2024).


When Can I Make Changes?

You can change your coverage one time per year during Open Enrollment. Our Open Enrollment period is in March of each year. Benefit elections made during Open Enrollment are effective April 1st. Changes cannot be made outside of the open enrollment period unless you experience a qualified life event.


What Are Qualified Life Events?

Here are some examples of qualifying events for you and your dependents.

  • Birth or adoption of a child
  • You, your spouse, or a dependent loses coverage under another group plan
  • Change in marital status
  • You, your spouse or dependent become eligible for other group coverage, enroll in Medicare or Medicaid
  • A child reaches age 26
  • Open Enrollment through your spouse’s employer


If you experience a mid-year qualified life event, coverage will begin on the first of the month following or coinciding your change in status, except coverage for birth or adoption which is effective on the date of the event. You may email Benefits@aegisliving.com if you are unsure if an event you are experiencing qualifies.

You have 30 days from the event date to make changes to your coverage, except for birth or adoption which is 60 days from birth or placement.

See Special Enrollment Rights for information on the timing for enrollment changes.
