Who’s Eligible for Benefits
what you need to know
All Hitachi regular full-time active employees who work 20 hours or more per week are eligible for benefits on your date of hire. Benefits eligibility extends to all Hitachi business units including Hitachi Digital LLC, Hitachi Federal and Hitachi Digital Services.
Eligible Dependents
- Your spouse or qualified domestic partner
- Your children up to age 26, regardless of student or marital status, including adopted children and children of your domestic partner. (For HSA contribution purposes, your child must be a tax dependent and under age 24.)
- Any dependent child who is incapable of self-support due to a mental or physical disability
Domestic Partner Eligibility
- You and your domestic partner must have the same principal home for the entire calendar year.
- Your domestic partner is a member of your household for the entire calendar year, in a relationship that doesn’t violate local law.
- You provide more than half of your domestic partner’s total support during the calendar year.
- Your domestic partner is not your (or anyone else’s) “qualifying child” under Code §152 (c).
- Your domestic partner is a U.S. citizen, U.S. national or legal resident of the United States, Canada or Mexico.
You must complete a Certification of Federal Tax Dependent Status to confirm that your domestic partner qualifies as your federal tax dependent for health coverage.
Make sure you complete the Certification of Federal Tax Dependent Status form during Open Enrollment each year! Otherwise, Hitachi will assume your domestic partner is no longer a tax dependent.
