Eligibility & Enrollment Information:
- Full-time permanent employees (working 30 hours or more per week) may enroll in coverage within 30 days of their hire date (30 days for a re-hire). Employees may cover their legal spouse (if they do not have access to affordable employer sponsored group coverage) and their dependent children up to age 26 and under.
- Enrollment must be completed online at https://www.mybentek.com/mscs.
- Coverage is effective the first day of the month after the completion of 30 days of employment.
- You can only make changes to your health benefits during Open Enrollment each year or within 30 days of a qualifying life event (example: marriage, divorce, birth/adoption of a child, loss of other coverage, dependent loss of other coverage, etc.).
- Enrolled employees and their eligible dependents will receive a COBRA notice to temporarily extend coverage under the Plan in the event that they separate employment or become benefits ineligible.
