Active Work Status

You must be actively-at-work during your approved scheduled work week and not on any type of leave.

Actively at Work

You are "actively at work" if you are fulfilling your job responsibilities at a Company-approved location on the day coverage is supposed to begin (e.g., you are not out ill or on a leave of absence).

Approved Spouse and Domestic Partner

Adding a spouse or same gender or opposite gender domestic partner to certain benefits coverage is permitted upon employment or during the Annual Enrollment period for coverage effective the following January 1st if you satisfy the plans' criteria, or immediately upon satisfying the plans' criteria if you previously did not qualify. To obtain spousal or domestic partner coverage, you will need to complete an Affidavit of Eligible Family Membership via MMC Benefits Online declaring that:

Spouse / Domestic Partner

You have already received a marriage license from a U.S. state or local authority, or registered your domestic partnership with a U.S. state or local authority; or

Spouse Only

Although not registered with a U.S. state or local authority, your relationship constitutes a marriage under U.S. state or local law (e.g. common law marriage or a marriage outside the U.S. that is honored under U.S. state or local law).

Domestic Partner Only

Although not registered with a U.S. state or local authority, your relationship constitutes an eligible domestic partnership. To establish that your relationship constitutes an eligible domestic partnership you and your domestic partner must:

be at least 18 years old

not be legally married, under federal law, to each other or anyone else or part of another domestic partnership during the previous 12 months

currently be in an exclusive, committed relationship with each other that has existed for at least 12 months and is intended to be permanent

not be Medicare eligible

currently reside together, and have resided together for at least the previous 12 months, and intend to do so permanently, and

have agreed to share responsibility for each other's common welfare and basic financial obligations

not related by blood to a degree of closeness that would prohibit marriage under applicable state law.

MMC reserves the right to require documentary proof of your domestic partnership at any time, for the purpose of determining benefits eligibility. If requested, you must provide documents verifying either the registration of your domestic partnership with a state or local authority or your cohabitation and/or mutual commitment.

Once your Affidavit of Eligible Family Membership is completed and processed, you may cover the dependent child(ren) of your spouse or domestic partner.

Beneficiary

The person or entity you designate to be entitled to benefits when you die. For Spouse and Dependent Children Life Insurance, Personal Life Insurance, and Personal Accident Insurance, you are automatically the beneficiary if a covered family member dies.

Dismemberment

The loss of one or more arms, legs, hands, feet, hearing, speech, or eyesight because of an accident that doesn't cause death.
