To enroll your same-sex or opposite-sex domestic partner and his or her dependents for coverage, you will be required to submit a notarized affidavit confirming your domestic partner qualifies as a dependent:
Under federal law, Green Thumb’s contribution toward the cost of healthcare coverage for your domestic partner and his or her dependents is considered taxable income to you.

New hires receive enrollment instructions via Wurk/email.
The benefit elections you make during your initial enrollment period as a new hire, or during open enrollment, will be in effect for the calendar year.

You may be eligible to elect COBRA for yourself and your eligible dependents for medical, dental, and vision and FSA coverage.

If you enroll in the Green Thumb HDHPw/HSA, you can open and contribute to a Health Savings Account (HSA) to help cover some of your medical, dental, or vision costs.
Our video offers valuable information on the advantages of opening your HSA.
To enroll in an HSA, you must enroll in our HDHP w/HSA plan. If you enroll in the High Deductible Health Plan, and indicate that you want to contribute to a HSA, Green Thumb will have the HSA opened through P&A Group on your behalf. You will receive instructions following enrollment on how to activate your account and establish a login and password. It is important to note that expenses are not eligible for reimbursement until your HSA has been established.

These benefits may help you fund costs associated with your medical plan deductible or coinsurance requirements.
Accidental Injury pays a cash benefit when you or your covered family members suffer injuries sustained in a covered accident.
Employees enrolled in the High Deductible Health Plan will automatically receive Accidental Injury Coverage for themselves, paid for by Green Thumb. You may add coverage for additional family members at your cost.
Critical Illness Insurance pays a lump-sum cash benefit following the diagnosis of a covered critical illness or event. Learn more about Critical Illness in our video.
Both Supplemental Health plans also provide an annual cash benefit of $50 (per calendar year) for eligible health screenings and prevention measures. Since these screenings are often paid at 100% under the medical plan, you could walk away with cash in your pocket for practicing good preventive care.
Please refer to the United Healthcare benefit plan summaries and your 2024 Benefits Guide for details on plan coverage and rates for both plans.

Could you and your family survive without a paycheck, if you were out of work due to an injury or illness? Disability insurance is essentially “Paycheck” insurance, ensuring you will receive a portion of your income if you are unable to work due to a non-work-related injury or illness. Short-Term Disability (STD) provides a weekly benefit, while Long-Term Disability (LTD) pays a monthly benefits after STD insurance has been exhausted.
Green Thumb offers STD insurance through BCBS of Illinois, at no cost to you. You are automatically enrolled for STD coverage. You are taxed on the value of this coverage, which provides you the advantage of receiving tax-free STD benefits, should you file a claim.
You may elect to enroll in LTD insurance. The cost of that coverage is paid entirely by you, via payroll deduction.
STD benefits become payable when you are unable to work due to an injury or illness unrelated to work. If you remain disabled and meet the plan’s disability requirements, you will continue to receive a percentage of your weekly earnings until the benefit duration has ended.
STD benefits are offset by any state-mandated disability plans.
LTD insurance offers a monthly benefit to help replace lost income if you experience a disability lasting longer than 90 days. Proof of disability is required.
Disability claims for newly covered employees will be denied if you received medical treatment, medical advice, care or services or took prescribed drugs or medicines in the last 12 months prior to the effective date of this coverage and the disability began in the first 12 months after your effective date of coverage.
Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) allow you to set money aside for certain eligible expenses and draw from it throughout the year to pay for those expenses. The money is set aside pre-tax, reducing your taxable income. Three types of FSAs are available:
