I’m wondering if I’m able to transition as a full-time employee if I would be able to enroll immediately in health insurance or if I would have to wait for the open enrollment period.
Edit: I am not contracted through a temp agency. It’s a temporary position with the company.
Changing employment status is a qualifying event or whatever it’s called, so assuming the company offers its employees coverage immediately on hiring (not all do), you shouldn’t have to wait for open enrollment. However, while health coverage is a common benefit of employment, it’s not universal and policies vary by employer. That is: ask the company, or if for some reason you don’t want to ask, get a copy of the employee handbook, maybe by asking one of your co-workers for it. The info for the particular company is likely to be in there.
