Random health insurance question with new job
Dh is starting a new job with a different company in a month. They offer health insurance which we will buy in to.
It's been YEARS since we've had employer offered health insurance so dumb question that I don't know the answer of -- will the new health insurance start on day 1 of employment or will there be a waiting period? I'm trying to decide when to drop our existing plan. :think He'll ask the official HR but his appt with them is not for another week and I'm just curious what the general experience with this is. |
Re: Random health insurance question with new job
It varies by employer - he'll need to ask directly. We've had it start on day 1 and also after a few weeks.

I’ve also had after 90 days. in General if I starts on day 1, I believe the current law states you have 30 days to sign up. If you miss the deadline, Then You would have to wait for the plans annual open enrollment

Re: Random health insurance question with new job
My dh just started a new job and has to work 60 days to get insurance. Our last employer it was 30 days. Also something to consider- there will probably be open enrollment for 2019 soon. So consider skipping dental and vision coverage for the rest of 2018 if you’re not planning on using it.

I would say most places are 1st of the month after 30 days of employment.

IME, big corporations have been immediate, family owned businesses have a waiting period.
