Benefit Eligibility

Printer-friendly version

OneBeacon offers a wide array of benefits to all employees, but the level of benefits depends upon your regularly scheduled hours.

You also have the opportunity to enroll your eligible dependents.  Dependents can be initially enrolled within 30 days of hire, annually during Open Enrollment, or within 30 days of a qualified change in family status.

The OneBeacon Welfare plan defines eligible dependents as follows:

• Spouse - Your legally married spouse. Legal spouses include common-law spouses in states that recognize common-law marriages. If you become divorced your ex-spouse is no longer eligible for coverage. 
• Same-Sex Domestic Partner- must meet the following requirements:
  • Be financially interdependent and jointly responsible for each other's common welfare
  • Intend to remain in a committed relationship
  • Share the same living quarters and permanent address
  • Not be so closely related by blood that legal marriage would otherwise be prohibited
  • Be at least age 18
  • Not have been in a different domestic partner relationship or marriage within the last 12 months
  • The current relationship has been in effect for at least 12 months 
•  Child(ren) - Your children up to the age 26. Child means: natural child; step-child by legal marriage (including the child of a same-sex spouse or domestic partner), adopted or for whom legal guardianship has been awarded.

Employees enrolling in medical coverage for a spouse /domestic partner will be required to pay an additional $40 biweekly if the spouse/domestic partner is eligible for fulltime medical coverage elsewhere.
