The Bank of New York Mellon Health and Welfare Plan (BNY Mellon's Flexible Benefits Program) is available to all active full-time and part-time salaried employees, who are regularly scheduled to work at least 20 hours per week as determined by BNY Mellon.

In addition to yourself, you can also enroll your dependents for medical, dental, vision and dependent life insurance coverage.

You may enroll yourself and your eligible dependents for benefits within 31 days after the later of your date of hire or your eligibility date.

Eligible dependents include (subject to the terms of the covered benefits):

For this definition, "child" means your natural child, stepchild, legally adopted child (including those placed with you for adoption), foster child placed with you, a child for whom you have legal guardianship and the duty of sole financial support by an order of the court (you must provide documentation verifying that a court order gives you both legal custody and the duty of sole financial support before you can enroll the child), or a "child" of your qualified domestic partner.

You may add or remove a child from medical coverage at any time if a Qualified Medical Child Support Order (QMCSO) requires (or previously required) you or your former spouse to cover the child. You may be asked for documentation of eligibility at the time of enrollment or during any audit checks.

When enrolling any dependent (i.e., spouse, qualified domestic partner, child), you may be periodically required to provide satisfactory proof of applicable dependent status (e.g., marriage certificate, birth certificate or proof of incapacity) as a condition of eligibility or continued eligibility under the plan.
