Enroll Yourself in Medical Insurance

Qualifying events and life events are special events that occur outside of the new hire/rehire enrollment period.

These events allow eligible employees to add or remove dependents onto their medical insurance plan within 30 days of event occurrence.

Adding a dependent requires supporting documentation. Please click here to view dependent eligibility required documentation.

All full-time and part-time (20 hrs. or more) employees are entitled to enroll in City Health Coverage administered by the NYC Office of Labor Relations.

Return from Leave

If an employee’s health benefits terminate due to them being out on leave (worker’s compensation, childcare leave, AWOL, etc.), upon returning to work, they must re-enroll into their health plan within 30 days.

If adding a new dependent when returning from leave, please be sure to upload all required documents. If you have been out on leave for over one year with a spouse or domestic partner as a dependent on your healthcare plan, you are required to re-upload proof of cohabitation within the past six months.
