Program Overview
Eligibility
Who's Eligible?
- Employees working at least 20+ hours per week.
New Hires:
- Benefits for New Hires will be effective the 1st of the month following 30 days of employment.
Payroll Deductions:
- Medical, Dental, Vision, and FSA premiums are pre-tax (before taxes are withheld). This lowers the amount of taxes you pay and reduces your net costs for benefits.
- All other benefit premiums are deducted on a post-tax basis.
Dependent Child(ren):
- Eligible child(ren) include:
- Natural child, adopted child, step child, or child for which the employee has legal guardianship.
- Dependents are eligible until the end of the year in which they turn age 26 (unless disabled).
Spouses:
- Only legal spouses are eligible (as defined by Georgia law).
Qualifying Life Events
No enrollment changes are allowed to your benefits during the plan year, except in the case of a Qualifying Life Event.
Qualifying life events that can result in changes to your benefit coverage include the following:
- Marriage or Divorce
- Birth or adoption of a child
- Loss of a dependent
- Medicare entitlement
- Change in spouse's employment that affects benefits
- Loss of other group coverage
Qualifying Life Events:
If you have a qualifying life event, notify the Benefits Service Center of the event and your new elections. You must also provide the necessary supporting documentation to the Benefits Service Center within 31 days of the change. If you do not do so within 31 days, you must wait until the next open enrollment period to make any benefit plan changes.
Employees who have a Qualifying Life Event should also notify the Green Company Benefit Specialist via phone at 770-295-1600.
