Benefits Guide
Loss of Eligibility
If you lose benefits eligibility due to termination of employment, status change to
”non-benefits eligible,” or another qualifying reason, your medical, dental, and vision
benefits continue to the end of the month that you lose benefits eligibility. You’ll
receive a Benefits Termination Reference Guide from HR that outlines specific details.
COBRA –
If you are eligible for continuing medical, dental, vision, and flexible spending account
coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act (COBRA),you will receive enrollment
information from our COBRA administrator, WageWorks, within 14 days of WageWorks’ receipt of the
notice of the qualifying event from Stantec. Coverage under COBRA is retroactive to the date of loss
of coverage when elected within the allowed time frame.
DEPENDENTS –
If your spouse or dependent child loses coverage under the plan because he or
she no longer meets the plan’s definition of “dependent,” notify HR by submitting a request to the
Stantec HR Service Center immediately after the event (within 31 days for a benefit change and
within 60 days for COBRA eligibility) to make changes to your benefits and be eligible for
continued coverage under COBRA.
COBRA FOR DEPENDENTS TURNING 26 –
Dependents turning 26 will automatically be removed from
plans at the end of the month that they turn 26. Your dependent will receive enrollment information
from our COBRA administrator, WageWorks, within 14 days of WageWorks’ receipt of the notice of
the qualifying event from Stantec.
