Who Is Eligible

Segal’s U.S. Flexible Benefits Program allows you to design a comprehensive benefits plan to meet your and your family’s personal needs.*

Flexible Benefits Program

You are eligible to participate in Segal’s U.S. Flexible Benefits Program if you are a full-time or part-time employee regularly scheduled to work at least 60% of your office’s standard work hours. Special project workers (SPWs), interns and independent contractors are not eligible.

If you are eligible for benefits, you may also enroll your eligible dependents, subject to plan rules. For most plans, eligible dependents include:

  • Your legal spouse or spousal equivalent
  • Your eligible dependent children, as defined under the plans, until the end of the month in which they reach age 26
  • Your unmarried dependent children over the age of 19 who are unable to support themselves because of physical, mental or developmental disability

Dependent children generally include your own biological or adopted children, children placed with you for adoption or any other child for whom you have legal guardianship. Qualified dependent children of your eligible spousal equivalent also may be eligible for coverage.

When eligibility begins and ends

You become eligible for coverage under Segal’s U.S. Flexible Benefits Program on the first day of the month that coincides with or follows your date of employment. If your employment begins on the first day of a month, your coverage begins on that date.
