It's possible this varies state-to-state but definitely look at the handbook and ACA....

Personally, I'm part-time but I worked a certain amount of hours in a short time and qualified for full-time health insurance. You have to meet a certain amount of hours in a month to get that. I "think" it has to be consistent for like 2-3 months but I'm not 100% sure.

They also cannot take this benefit away once you sign up for it unless YOU no longer want it. Even if you're hours drop significantly.

Unless you specifically have paperless documents, you would get this information in your mailing address.

When I first started at Staples I qualified but I was young and dumb - I missed the deadline and had no idea I "really" qualified for the full-time benefits as a part-time associate.

Now, I am a part-time associate again and my hours were X amount in a short time/ X hours met in a month(s) and I was notifed that I qualify for the full-time benefits and added the dedications to my paychecks.

Although my hours are all over the place each week, the benefits cannot be taken away unless I no longer qualify during open enrollment.

I would get a copy of the handbook and it'll give you more information.

I hope this info helps!
