Life Changes & Benefits Separation
Life happens, and sometimes you need to make benefit changes outside of open enrollment. That's what we're here for.
Considering Making Changes To Your Benefits?
Free Flu Shots For All Team Members!
All United Family Team Members are welcome to attend a flu clinic or visit a store and receive a flu shot at no cost to them. For those family members who are also on a United Family medical plan, flu shots are free of charge. For anyone else, there may be a fee associated with receiving the flu vaccine.
Life Changes
Am I Eligible?
Team Members working 30 or more hours per week* are eligible for most company benefits on the first day of the month following 30 days from the date of hire. You must enroll within 30 days of your coverage effective date.
Example: If your hire date is February 10, 2022, your coverage effective date is April 1, 2022, provided you enroll in your benefits by April 30, 2022. If you miss the enrollment deadline, you must wait until the next annual Open Enrollment period to sign up for most benefits unless you experience a qualifying life event during the year, such as getting married or having a baby.
*Some variations apply for pharmacists.
- Change in employment status, such as part-time to full-time (will have 31 days to enroll)
- Birth/adopting of child
- Marriage
- Divorce/legal separation
- Gain/loss of other coverage for you or a dependent
- Beginning/end of domestic partnership relationship
- Death of a family member
- You or a covered dependent becomes eligible for Medicare or Medicaid
- Completed verification documents can be submitted with a cover page that includes your name, associate ID, last four digits of your SSN, and daytime telephone number. You can:
- Email the cover page and verification documents to totalbenefits@unitedtexas.com
- Fax with cover page and verification documents to (806) 791-6341
Team members who term from the company with benefits or who have moved from a full time to part time status and lose eligibility may be able to continue some benefits. Below is an overview of your benefit options upon your separation/ineligibility from The United Family.
