Employee and Dependent Eligibility

Dependent Eligibility

Family members ("dependents") may be eligible for certain benefits, such as health care and life insurance. You are permitted to enroll or update your benefit elections in following circumstances: when you are hired, during an Annual Open Enrollment event, or if you experience a status change, such as a marriage or birth/adoption of a child. View the Qualified Status Change matrix (pdf)

Eligible dependents include:

• Spouse
  A spouse is person of the same or opposite sex who is married to the employee (excluding separation and divorce).
• Domestic Partner
  A domestic partner is a person of the same or opposite sex with whom you share a committed relationship as evidenced by a shared residence and record of financial interdependence. View Domestic Partner criteria. 
  
• Children up to age 26
  You can over your children up to age 26. Medical care for your dependent child(ren) ends with the last day of the month they turn 26. 
  
• Disabled children over 26 (in certain cases)
  You can cover your disabled child (at any age), provided he/she was previously covered under NortonLifelock benefits before age 26.

Dependent Eligibility for Overaged Dependents

Double Coverage/Maintenance of Benefits (MOB)

"Double coverage" applies to you if your dependents are covered under NortonLifelock's medical and/or dental plans and other medical and/or dental plans. The NortonLifelock medical and dental plans pay claims based on Maintenance of Benefits (MOB). Under MOB, the NortonLifelock medical and dental plans are the secondary plan for your dependents who are also covered under other plans. If the benefits paid by the primary plan are less than the benefits normally payable under the NortonLifelock medical or dental plan, then the NortonLifelock plan will pay the difference between the two plans. If the primary plan payment exceeds the benefit normally payable under the NortonLifelock medical or dental plan, as the secondary plan, NortonLifelock would pay nothing.

NortonLifelock Couples

If both you and your spouse or domestic partner are employed by NortonLifelock, you may not have "double coverage" under the NortonLifelock medical, dental, and vision plans. This means you may not be covered as both a NortonLifelock employee and as a dependent of another NortonLifelock employee for these plans. In addition, you and your spouse or domestic partner may not cover the same child as a dependent for any benefit.

Domestic Partner Eligibility

A domestic partner is someone of the same or opposite sex with whom you share a committed and mutually exclusive relationship (as evidenced by a shared residence and record of financial interdependence).
