Additional Details
Current Associates
During open enrollment, any changes to your current coverage will become effective on January 1 of the following year.
NOTE: If you are not actively at work on the day your coverage is scheduled to begin, some of your newly elected coverages may be limited until you return to work.
Newly Hired Associates
As a new associate, you must enroll in benefits within 31 days of your date of hire or you will not have coverage for yourself or your eligible dependents.
If you do not enroll, you will only have these company-paid benefits: Basic Life and AD&D, Employee Assistance Program (EAP), and Short-Term and Long-Term Disability, if eligible.
Other Rules for Covering Eligible Dependents
Your decision about dependent coverage can differ for different benefits. For example, you could choose medical coverage for yourself only (“Single coverage”) and choose dental coverage for every eligible person in your family (“Family coverage”).
If you and your spouse or domestic partner are both Ingram associates:
- Only one of you may cover your dependent child(ren)
- For a given benefit plan, you can choose “Single” coverage or be covered as a dependent by your spouse or domestic partner, but not both
If you or a dependent are confined in a hospital or elsewhere on the date coverage is scheduled to begin, coverages other than medical and prescription drug may be delayed until you or your dependent recover or are discharged from the confinement.
IMPORTANT NOTES
- Partial guardianship (for example, medical or educational guardianship) is not considered full, legal custody and does not qualify the child for coverage
- If you get a divorce, the only Ingram coverage available to your ex-spouse is COBRA continuation coverage. You cannot keep your ex-spouse on your coverage
- Your child(ren)’s coverage will end at the end of the month in which he/she turns 26
Imputed Income for Domestic Partner Coverage
If you enroll a domestic partner or your partner’s child(ren) under your medical, dental or vision plans, and that individual does not meet the IRS definition of a qualified tax dependent, the IRS considers the fair market value of the additional coverage as “imputed income.”
Unlike health coverage for other family members, the value of the additional coverage is a taxable benefit. This means that the imputed income increases your taxable gross income for purposes of federal income and FICA taxes (Social Security and Medicare). Federal and FICA taxes on imputed income are withheld from each paycheck.
Imputed income is separate from, and in addition to, your other benefit deductions. The amount of your imputed income depends on:
- The plan(s) in which you are enrolled
- The level of coverage you elect
Imputed income is reported on your annual W-2 form.
