Enrollment

Eligibility

Overview

Take a look at when you’re eligible for benefits and which family members you can cover.

You’re In

You are eligible for AEO benefits if you’re a full-time associate who is expected to work at least 32 hours per week.

Please see the Summary Plan Description (SPD) for more details on benefit eligibility. You can find the SPD on the Benefitfocus portal > Benefit Resources > Leave & Benefit Resources > Notices & Plan Documents.

Who You Can Cover

If you enroll for benefits, you can also cover:

  • Your spouse, same-sex or opposite-sex domestic partner
  • Your dependent children up to age 26, including birth children, stepchildren, your domestic partner’s children, legally adopted children, children for whom you or your spouse are the legal guardian and children who are the subject of a Qualified Medical Child Support Order (QMCSO) issued to you or your spouse
  • Disabled children of any age who are unable to take care of themselves (proof of disability is required)

Provide the Paperwork

You will need to provide dependent verification documents when you add your spouse, domestic partner and/or children during the enrollment process. If you’re covering your domestic partner, you’ll need to fill out the Declaration of Domestic Partnership Form and submit it to the AEO Benefits Department.
