Benefits Fast Facts

Welcome to the BenefitsPlus Program! As a new employee choosing benefits for the first time, this is your opportunity to evaluate your personal situation, review benefit options and plan for a healthy and secure future.

Eligibility

Regular full-time and part-time employees working a minimum of 21 hours per week are eligible for the BenefitsPlus Flexible Benefits Program.  Coverage begins on the first of the month following your date of hire or on your date of hire if it is the first of the month.

Dependent Coverage

Eligible dependents for coverage include:

  • Your Spouse
  • Same or opposite sex domestic partner*
  • Children up to age 26

Under IRS Regulations for Federal Income Tax purposes your Domestic Partner, and your Domestic Partner’s Child(ren), are not treated as a Domestic Partner or as legal dependents. The IRS requires the company to treat the value of any Medical, Dental or Vision coverage provided to your Domestic Partner as imputed income.  For more information, please view the Domestic Partnership Information Guide.

31-Day Deadline

You must make your elections within 31-days of your benefits eligibility date.  For example, if you are hired April 15th, you become benefits eligible on May 1st.  You will have until May 31st to make your benefits election.  If No Action is taken within the specified time frame you will be waived from all coverages requiring an employee contribution.  No change will be allowed past this deadline, unless you experience a Qualifying Life Event, such as a birth, adoption, marriage, divorce or loss of coverage under another plan.   You have 31 days from any Qualifying Life Event to make changes to your current benefit elections by visiting www.dentsubenefitsplus.com or by calling the BenefitsPlus Solution Center at 855.326.7870.

Enrollment

You should receive an email from the Benefits Center (BenefitsPlus@alight.com) inviting you to enroll in coverage and encouraging you to attend a New Hire Benefits Orientation shortly after you join the company.  Upon receipt of that email you will be able to log in to make your elections.  If you do not receive an email and you have received your first paycheck, please contact the BenefitsPlus Solutions Center at 855.326.7870 for assistance.
