 ## Medical insurance
 
 All full-time regular employees and part-time hourly employees who work at least thirty hours a week are entitled to benefits under CivicActions' medical, dental, vision, life insurance plans. CivicActions pays 100% of the premiums, unless you opt for benefit that is more expensive than the company-covered plans. Then you pay the difference. See your TriNet PassPort account for managing these benefits.
-New full-time employees joining CivicActions will be eligible for coverage on the first of the month following thirty days from the date of employment. If, as a new employee, you do not want the coverage, you will need to tell admin in case it puts us out of compliance with the plan providers or the ACA.
