Eligibility

This section describes who is eligible to enroll in County-sponsored benefits and the circumstances under which you may enroll in the plans.

Employee Eligibility

The benefits for which you are eligible as an employee depend on a range of factors, including:

• The number of hours you work (for example, determines the amount of the County’s contribution toward your Medical and Dental plan coverage)

Refer to your Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) or Salary Ordinance or contact the Employee Benefits Center (EBC) for more information about the benefits for which you may be eligible.
