Benefits Overview
January 1st - December 31st, 2023
As a full-time Cascades employee, you are eligible for benefits. Benefits effective date varies by plant. You may enroll your eligible dependents for coverage once you are eligible. Your eligible dependents include your legal spouse, domestic partner, and /or your children up to age 26.
Once your benefit elections become effective, they remain in effect until the end of the year. You may only change coverage within 30 days of a qualified life event or during Open Enrollment in the Fall.
Qualified Life Events
Generally, you may change your benefit elections only during the annual enrollment period. However, you may change your benefit elections during the year if you experience a qualified life event, including:
- Marriage
- Divorce or legal separation
- Birth of your child
- Death of your spouse or dependent child
- Adoption of or placement for adoption of your child
- Change in employment status of employee, spouse or dependent child
- Qualification by the Plan Administrator of a child support order for medical coverage
- Entitlement to Medicare or Medicaid
You must notify Human Resources within 30 days of the qualified life event.
Depending on the type of event, you may be asked to provide proof of the event. If you do not contact HR within 30 days of the qualified event, you will have to wait until the next annual enrollment period to make changes (unless you experience another qualified life event).
