If you have questions around your benefits eligibility and how you can use it to control costs, send me a message. Some have 90 day waiting periods, some allow new hires to be eligible on day one-it's all about what works best for your organization. What’s your organization’s benefits eligibility waiting period? When was the last time you evaluated it? Waiting Periods are not one size fits all and should be unique to your organization’s needs. If Play Now had established a longer waiting period for benefits eligibility, they could have avoided allowing a mistaken hire to join their plan. George can even elect COBRA, meaning his claims will continue to affect the plan, even after he's left the company. Unfortunately for Play Now, George has been able to enroll on the benefits and his expensive medical claims, including durable medical equipment like his scooter, will be hitting the plan. When Play Now learns that George has been lying about and embellishing his injury, it’s grounds for termination. They even provide him with a motorized scooter to aid his mobility.

George’s new employer, Play Now, is very generous and accommodating of George’s injury. He recovers from his injuries and even lands a new job in sports! Specifically, playground equipment. George Costanza is tenacious, (in college they called him the little bulldog).
