Eligibility
See which benefits you and your dependents are eligible for.
Employee eligibility
You’re eligible for all the benefits on this site if you’re a full- or part-time employee scheduled to work at least 30 hours per week.
Interns are eligible for medical, dental and vision insurance.
Dependent eligibility
If you’re a benefits-eligible employee, you may choose to cover these eligible dependents:
- Legal or common law spouse
- Domestic partner (same or opposite sex) with supporting documentation
- Children up to age 26, including:
- Birth or adopted children
- Stepchildren or your domestic partner’s children
- Children placed with you for adoption
- Children for whom you and your spouse or domestic partner are the legal guardians
- Children whose health care coverage is required through a Qualified Medical Child Support Order or other court or administrative order
You may enroll eligible dependents in:
- Medical, dental and vision insurance
- Supplemental life insurance
- Critical illness, accidental injury and hospital indemnity insurance
- Legal services (if you enroll in this plan)
- Identity theft protection
Eligible dependents are automatically covered by:
- Basic life insurance
- Employee Assistance Program
Important notes about eligibility
- All dependents must live in the U.S.
- You can’t enroll parents or a spouse or partner from whom you’re legally divorced or separated, or their children.
- If an eligible dependent child is disabled, you may be able to continue covering them beyond age 26.
- If you and your spouse or domestic partner are both benefits-eligible Samsung employees, you can enroll separately or together with one of you as a dependent. You can’t each enroll with the other as a covered dependent.
- College interns can’t enroll dependents in medical, dental or vision insurance; they’re eligible for individual coverage only.
Tax impact for domestic partners and their children
The IRS generally doesn’t consider domestic partners and their children as eligible dependents.
As a result, the value of Samsung’s cost to cover your domestic partner and their children may be imputed as income. You’ll pay your benefits cost (premiums) to cover your domestic partner and their children with after-tax payroll deductions.
If you and your domestic partner get married, please notify us immediately in order to change your deductions to pre-tax status.
