Note: To sustain benefits an employee must remain in a benefits eligible position listed above and have 80 hours of paid time in their pay.
If an employee has less than 80 hours of pay in a pay period then benefits will end that month. A COBRA notice will then be sent. Once an employee has 80 hours of pay we will reinstate benefits effective the following month. Flexible spending accounts can not be reinstated and must complete a form to re enroll.
