All New EIU Employees: 50% Or More Appointment, 10-DAY Benefit Choice Deadline...
New Employees have 10 calendar days from the initial employment date to enroll in various options. Members with less than 100% appointment have the option to waiver out of insurance, but they MUST sign the waiver form within the 10-day period. All members 50% or greater will have life insurance provided by the State of Illinois equal to their annual salary, at no cost to the member. Members who fail to make the benefit elections within the 10-day period will automatically be enrolled in the Quality Care Health Plan and Quality Care Dental Plan, and will be provided with Basic Life Insurance coverage.
New Members may enroll eligible dependents within 10 calendar days of the Members' effective date. If dependent coverage is not elected during these first 10 days, the member must wait until the next eligibility period to request dependent coverage.
