As our annual benefit enrollment will begin April 1, 2013, a clarification of our policy on coverage for same-sex couples and domestic partners is listed below.
Same-Sex Marriages
Employees who are married to someone of the same sex and who would like to carry their spouse on their health or dental insurance must first contact Heartland’s Benefits Specialist to complete an Affidavit of Same-Sex Marriage and Tax Dependent Status forms. Please do not wait until annual enrollment time to start this paperwork.
Domestic Partners
Domestic partners, either of the same-sex or opposite-sex, are not eligible for coverage under the health or dental plans effective July 1, 2013.
If you have any questions, contact Kathy Martin, Benefits Specialist, at kmartin@aea11.k12.ia.us or ext. 14385.
