Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Moving into an eligible class of employees, e.g. working for the company and being full-time 30 hrs+/week (or whatever their benefit criteria are) is an event that allows for enrollment with insurers outside of the once per year Open Enrollment which is for existing, ongoing, already eligible an/or enrolled employees for the next plan year.
A waiting period for the start of the benefits, as others have mentioned, once being eligible, may apply to all new employees, e.g. first of next month/30/60 days. As someone who was associated with the company through a 3rd party already there may be separate or less criteria allowing you to enroll sooner than a normal new hire, or you may have the same waiting period. It all depends on the plan design which varies by company but has to meet federal minimum standards thanks to the affordable care act/Obamacare.
