Unipres U.S.A. Employee Benefits Brokerage and Consulting Services RFP
Who will be responsible for enrolling new employees? What is the process for enrollment?
Answer: HR
will contact eligible employees with enrollment information and eligible employees will have 30 days to
make enrollment elections by submitting elections to HR.
When do benefits end?
Answer: Benefits end as of the earliest of the last day through which full-time eligibility is met, monthly
premiums are paid, or the end of the month in which employment service is terminated; COBRA
continuation coverage options may be available thereafter (unless coverage ends due to non-payment of
premiums).
Do Re-hires have to start over with a measurement period or eligibility?
Answer: If an employee is terminated and rehired within 13 weeks from their previous date of
termination, his/her eligibility or employment service calculation may continue from the previous period
of employment. If more than 13 weeks have passed since the previous employment service period
ended, that employee would then start the process again as another new hire and would become eligible
for coverage based on the circumstances and criteria stated above.
