Employee Eligibility

If you are a regular full-time employee working at least 30 hours per week, you are eligible to participate in the plans as of your first day of employment.

When Can I Enroll?

As a benefits-eligible employee, you have 30 days from your hire date to enroll in or make changes to your benefit enrollment. You also have the opportunity to enroll in or make changes to your benefit plans, during our annual enrollment period. Changes are limited to your new hire 30-day period and the annual enrollment unless you experience a qualified life event.

Dependent Eligibility

Dependents of REGENXBIO employees are also eligible for coverage in the REGENXBIO benefits program based on the following guidelines:

  • Your legal spouse or domestic partner (same & opposite sex)
  • Your dependent children up to age 26 regardless of marital or student status for medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Your dependent children up to age 20 (or up to age 26 for unmarried, financially dependent, full-time students) for voluntary life/AD&D insurance
  • Your unmarried children of any age who are incapable of supporting themselves due to a mental or physical disability and who are totally dependent on you

To qualify for benefits, you and your domestic partner must be able to demonstrate proof of financial interdependence. Additionally, REGENXBIO requires that a ‘Domestic Partnership Affidavit’ be completed and remain on file with Human Resources. Coverage for a domestic partner may be subject to taxable imputed income. Please see HR for further information.

Making Changes During the Benefit Plan Year

Choose your benefits carefully. Medical, dental, vision and flexible spending contributions are made on a pre-tax basis and the IRS regulations state that you have to experience a qualified life event in order to make changes during the benefit plan year.

Open enrollment is your annual opportunity to review existing elections, make changes, or make new elections (unless you experience a qualified life event listed below).

Qualified life events include but are not limited to:

  • Marriage or divorce
  • Death of your spouse/dependent
  • Birth or adoption of a child
  • Your spouse terminating or obtaining new employment (that affects eligibility for coverage)
  • You or your spouse switching employment status from full-time to part-time or vice versa (that affects eligibility for coverage)
  • Significant cost or coverage changes
  • Your dependent no longer qualifies as an eligible dependent

You must notify Human Resources within 30 days* of the event. Human Resources will review your request and determine whether the change you are requesting is allowed. Only benefit changes that are consistent with the qualified life event are permitted.

*60 days if you, your spouse, or eligible dependent child loses coverage under Medicaid or a State Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)or becomes eligible for state-provided premium assistance.
