Eligibility

All active, regular full-time employees scheduled to work 30 hours or more per week are eligible to enroll in the benefits program.

Eligible Dependents

When you enroll yourself in medical, dental, and/or vision coverage, you may also cover your eligible dependents, including:

• Your legal spouse or qualified domestic partner
• Children under the age of 26, regardless of student, dependency or marital status
• Children who are past the age of 26 and are fully dependent on you for support due to a mental or physical disability and who are indicated as such on your federal tax return

Proof of Eligibility

To provide employees and families with affordable, quality health coverage, UMass Global requires documentation demonstrating all covered dependents meet the eligibility criteria. Some requirements include:

• For spouses and domestic partners: Marriage or domestic partnership certificate or a recent tax return listing both individuals
• For children: Birth certificate, adoption decree, court documents for legal wards or foster children and proof of disability, and in some cases, a recent tax return may also required

To avoid delays in coverage for your dependents, be sure to submit the correct documentation. If you have any questions about eligibility or required documents, the Benefits Team is available to assist.
