What Is My Effective Date of Eligibility? Is There A Waiting Period?
There is no waiting period. You are eligible to participate in the dental plan as of your date of hire, but must enroll in the plan by the last day of the calendar month following the calendar month of your date of hire. Georgetown University does not choose any “default plan” for newly hired employees. If you do not enroll by the deadline required of newly hired employees, you must wait until the next “Open Enrollment” period to enroll, and will not have medical coverage until the following January 1st.
