Eligibility

All regularly scheduled full-time or part-time employees working at least 30 hours per week are eligible to participate in Acadia’s benefit program. Dependents eligible for coverage in the Acadia benefit program include:

Spouse

• For Medical: Your legal spouse if they are not eligible for other group health coverage through their employer.
• For Dental, Vision and Life Insurance: Your legal spouse.

Children (for all plans)

• Dependent children up to age 26 including biological children, stepchildren, legally adopted children and children placed with you for adoption.
• Your unmarried dependent child who is totally and permanently disabled and who became disabled prior to reaching age 19.

Proof of dependent eligibility will be required for any new dependents being added to the medical coverage. However, the company reserves the right to ask for proof of dependent documentation at any time.

When Benefits Begin and End

Benefits will become effective on the first day of the calendar month following the completion of a 30-day waiting period.

All health and welfare benefits with Acadia will end on your termination date or in the event that you change to non-benefit eligible status. Full deductions will be taken for any day you were enrolled and covered under the plans during the pay period. COBRA information will be sent by the COBRA Administrator to your home address on file after your termination date.

Changing Benefits and Qualifying Life Events

You may be eligible to make changes to your existing benefit elections throughout the year if you experience a qualifying life event, such as marriage, divorce, birth/adoption of a dependent child, death or loss of coverage due to loss of employment or benefit eligibility. You must complete the benefit change form through Manage My Benefits and provide supporting documentation within 30 days of the event. See your local HR representative for assistance.
