3. Cover the Right People

Here’s who’s eligible for health and wellness benefits. Decide who you want to cover.

Yourself

If you’re a U.S. full-time, non-union ITW employee of a participating business unit regularly scheduled to work 30 hours or more per week

Your Spouse/Domestic Partner

Your legal spouse or domestic partner (same-sex or opposite-sex)

Your Children

Through the end of the month in which they turn 26, regardless of student status (includes your spouse’s or domestic partner’s children)

^{Note: The value of the coverage provided to your domestic partner (and their children) will be taxable income for you unless your domestic partner (and their children) qualifies as your tax dependent.}
