Eligibility–Union

If you’re regularly scheduled 30+ hours per week, you’re eligible for all the benefits on this site except paid parental leave* or if noted otherwise.

If you’re regularly scheduled 20-29 hours per week, you’re eligible for all benefits on this site except dependent child tuition assistance and paid parental leave*.

Here is when benefits go into effect once you’re hired or become newly eligible:

• First of the month following date of hire or status change: Medical, dental, vision, flexible spending accounts, basic life insurance, MetLife supplemental life insurance, Unum whole life insurance, accident insurance, critical illness insurance, hospital indemnity insurance, prepaid legal services, and long-term disability.
• After 90 days: Holiday pay, paid free days and sick time and short-term disability. You’ll begin accruing sick time on your date of hire or status change, but there is a 90-day waiting period before you can use them.
• After six months: You’re eligible to use one week (five days) of your paid vacation time.
• After 12 months: You’re eligible to use the other week (five days) of your paid vacation time.
• Other: Employee tuition assistance goes into effect once you complete any probationary period. Dependent child tuition assistance is available to regular full-time employees after four years of continuous service (or two years of continuous service for employees hired before Jan. 1, 2018). Go to Education Benefits to learn more.

You have 30 days from your date of hire or status change to complete your enrollment in SmartSource .

If you’re eligible, you can enroll in auto, home, and pet insurance anytime during the year. Go to Extras for more information.

*Paid parental leave not available to Johns Hopkins Hospital represented employees.

When you enroll in a medical, dental, vision or dependent life insurance plan, you may also elect coverage for:

• Your children (with submission of a birth certificate and Social Security number) up to age 26, regardless of the child’s student or marital status. Note: Coverage ends at the end of the month when your dependent reaches age 26.
• Your legal spouse (with submission of a certified marriage certificate and Social Security number). If your spouse works for a Johns Hopkins Medicine affiliate, you cannot be covered as both an employee and a dependent. In addition, your eligible dependents may only be covered under one plan.

• Marriage or divorce
• Birth of a child/Adoption
• Death of a dependent
• Gain or loss of a dependent’s coverage
• Change in your spouse’s employment status

To make a mid-year change in benefits, you must create a Qualifying Life Event request SmartSource and upload supporting documentation within 30 days of the life event.

Note: If you are covered under a collective bargaining agreement, check the agreement for details.
