Yourself
If you’re a full-time employee or a part-time employee scheduled to work 30 or more hours per week, you’re eligible for Verizon benefits beginning your first day of work.
If you’re a part-time employee scheduled to work less than 30 hours per week, visit BenefitsConnection to determine your eligibility for coverage and to review and update your eligible dependents.
As a new V Teamer, you need to enroll in (or waive) medical, dental and vision coverage and elect spending account contribution amounts within 30 days of your start date. This is also the time you can elect long-term disability and additional life insurance coverage for yourself and your dependents.
Your spouse or domestic partner
After enrolling your spouse or domestic partner, you will need to verify that they meet the requirements for dependent coverage. A dependent verification request notice and instructions will be sent to your work email address and mailed to your home shortly after you add a dependent.

Definition of eligible domestic partner
There are two ways to qualify as a domestic partner.
Domestic partnership by government registration: You and your partner have entered into a valid domestic partnership registered with a government entity under the laws of the state, county or municipality in which you live.
Domestic partnership by company registry: You and your domestic partner must meet the following requirements:
- You are each other’s sole domestic partner.
- Neither of you is married to anyone else.
- You’re both at least 18 years old and mentally competent to enter a marriage contract.
- You’re not related by blood to the degree of closeness that would prohibit your legal marriage in your state.
- You’ve lived together in the same principal residence for at least six months and intend to do so indefinitely.
- You are emotionally committed to one another and jointly responsible for each other’s common well-being and financial obligations.
Your children
Dependent children are eligible for medical, dental, vision, life insurance and AD&D insurance through the end of the month in which they turn age 26, regardless of student status. Coverage may be extended beyond age 26 for a dependent child who is enrolled before age 26 and meets the conditions of being disabled under the medical plan.
A dependent verification request notice and instructions will be sent to your work email address and mailed to your home shortly after you add a dependent to your coverage.
Once a nondisabled dependent child attains age 26, they will be automatically removed from medical, dental and vision coverage at the end of the month in which their birthday occurs. You will then be provided the opportunity to continue coverage for the dependent through COBRA.
The child life insurance and child AD&D insurance plans cover all your eligible dependent children. You are responsible for updating your child life and child AD&D election when your dependent no longer meets eligibility requirements; they will not be dropped automatically.
