Benefits Eligibility
The table on page 8 highlights eligibility for benefits and who pays for the coverage. If you are paying for all or par t of the cost, the table also indicates whether your contributions are deducted from your paychecks before or after taxes are withheld. Most calendar years have 26 bi-weekly pay periods. Your cost will be deducted from each bi-weekly paycheck. Eligible Dependents you can cover include: • Legal spouse (same or opposite sex) • Child(ren) up to age 26, regardless of marital or student status. Eligible children include your biological children, stepchildren, adopted children or children placed in your home for adoption, foster children and children for whom you are the cour t-appointed legal guardian if that child is financially dependent on you. • A child of any age who is medically cer tified as disabled (prior to the child’s 26th bir thday), resides with you and is primarily dependent upon your suppor t. Please Note: When electing to cover a dependent spouse and/or child(ren) under MAAs medical , dental and/or vision plans, you have 30 days from your coverage effective date to submit documentation to verify the dependent(s) for which you elect to cover.
