Connecticut domiciled employer groups may decide to offer benefits to employees working 20 or more hours per week. When an employer chooses to extend benefits to part-timers, all employees must be treated equally with respect to participation, eligibility, and contribution. If an employer does not extend benefits to part-timers, then only those employees working 30 or more hours are eligible. ConnectiCare must be made aware of an employers decision to extend coverage to part-timers. This decision can be made at the initial effective date or upon renewal. Massachusetts domiciled employer groups may not offer benefits to employees working less than 30 hours per week.

Does ConnectiCare cover domestic partners?
ConnectiCare offers Domestic Partner Riders to Massachusetts domiciled employer groups only. We do not recognize domestic partners for Small Groups in Connecticut or New York. The Massachusetts employer may elect this rider at the time of new enrollment our upon renewal. The employee must submit affidavit of eligibility with their enrollment paperwork.
