Eligibility Rules
MDLZ offers health and welfare coverages to Those Who Meet the Eligibility Requirements.*
You may enroll the following eligible dependents for medical, dental, and/or vision coverage:
- Your legal spouse
- Your same- or opposite-sex domestic partner
- Your children
NOTE: If your domestic partner or domestic partner’s child isn't your tax dependent, the full cost of his or her medical and dental coverage is taxable income to you. This amount is “imputed income” and will be included in the income amount shown on your pay statement and W-2 form. Applicable taxes on imputed income will be withheld each pay period.
*Eligibility differs for certain part-time employees, as well as for certain optional coverages and voluntary benefits. Refer to the “Your Guide to the Mondelēz Global LLC Group Benefits Plan” for details regarding eligibility requirements (you can access this document in the Reference Center on MyBenefits Online). For more information regarding the specific coverages for which you’re eligible and/or enrolled, go to MyBenefits Online.
ELIGIBLE CHILDREN
Your child is eligible for coverage, up to age 26, provided he or she is your (or your spouse's or domestic partner's):
- Biological child
- Stepchild
- Foster child
- Legally adopted child, or child placed in your and your spouse's (or your and your domestic partner's) home for legal adoption
- Child for whom adoption procedures have started
- Child for whom a court has appointed you (or your spouse or domestic partner) as the legal guardian
- Child for whom you (or your spouse or domestic partner) have been ordered to cover through a Qualified Medical Child Support Order (QMCSO)
To be eligible for coverage, your spouse's or domestic partner’s child also must be primarily dependent on you (or your spouse or domestic partner) for more than one-half of his or her support and live with you (or your spouse or domestic partner) for more than one-half of the calendar year.
VERIFY YOUR DEPENDENTS
You’re responsible for ensuring that each individual you enroll for coverage under any Mondelēz Global welfare benefit plan meets the plan’s eligibility requirements at all times. Refer to the ”Your Guide to the Mondelēz Global LLC Group Benefits Plan” and the SPDs and other documents for a plan’s specific eligibility requirements (access these documents in the Reference Center on MyBenefits Online).
Proof of eligibility, including a Social Security Number if you’re enrolling your dependent via MyBenefits Online, will be required within 90 days after enrollment. If your dependent doesn’t have a Social Security Number, you’ll need to call the Mondelēz International Benefits Center at 1-800-887-8807 (Option 1 – Benefits; Option 1 – Health & Welfare Benefits) to add your dependent.
Any misrepresentations or inaccurate information you provide could result in loss of coverage. And, if you cover an individual who isn’t eligible, you may be required to reimburse the Plan for any expense incurred as a result of covering the ineligible individual.
