Changing your benefits?
Outside of open enrollment, you may be able to enroll or make changes to your benefit elections if you have a big change in your life, including:
- Change in legal marital status
- Change in number of dependents or dependent eligibility status
- Change in employment status that affects eligibility for you, your spouse, or dependent child(ren)
- Change in residence that affects access to network providers
- Change in your health coverage or your spouse’s coverage due to your spouse’s employment
- Change in an individual’s eligibility for Medicare or Medicaid
- Court order requiring coverage for your child
- “Special enrollment event” under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), including a new dependent by marriage, birth or adoption, or loss of coverage under another health insurance plan
- Event allowed under the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Reauthorization Act (you have 60 days to request enrollment due to events allowed under CHIP).
You must submit your change within 31 days of the event (60 calendar days for changes related to Medicaid or CHIP eligibility) and provide proof of the event. Changes due to a "change of mind" are not allowed until the next annual enrollment period. For additional information, please contact Human Resources.
Who is eligible for benefits?
Eligible dependents:
Employees who are eligible to participate in Clario benefit programs may also enroll their dependents. For our benefit plans, your dependents are defined as follows:
- Your legal spouse or domestic partner (special rules apply for domestic partner coverage)
- Your children to the end of the calendar month they reach age 26
- Your unmarried children of any age who are mentally or physically disabled and totally dependent upon you for support (proof of condition and dependence must be submitted)
When can you enroll?
You can enroll in benefits as a new hire or during the annual open enrollment period. New hire coverage begins on the first of the month following date of hire as long as you enroll within 30 days of becoming eligible.
If you miss the enrollment deadline, you'll need to wait until the next open enrollment (the one time each year that you can make changes to your benefits for any reason).
Domestic Partnership:
Domestic partners are eligible to enroll as a dependent in some of Clario's plans. You and your partner must meet specific criteria to qualify for domestic partner coverage. In general, employee premium contributions for domestic partners must be deducted from your pay on a post-tax basis (not pre-tax). In addition, any premium contributions made by Clario on behalf of your domestic partner are considered taxable income to you. Please contact Human Resources for more information and forms.
