If your status changes while employed at Carle Health, please refer to the information below and on benefits.carle.org to determine if and how your benefits may change as a result.  

Eligibility 

Please view this chart to see which benefits you are eligible for based on your status. You can also find this chart on  benefits.carle.org,

Timing

• Benefit cost changes are effective on the first day of the pay period during which your status changes.
• You must complete enrollment information within 31 days from the date of your status change if it impacts your eligibility for benefits.
• If your forms are received in Human Resources by the deadline, your benefits will be effective the date of your status change. Thus, your first deduction may be larger to catch up on premiums.

Important steps

If you become newly eligible for benefits and wish to enroll, you will be required to complete a benefits change form. The form can be downloaded from My Care Compass and sent to MyHR.HelpDesk@carle.com upon completion.
