Eligibility



Eligibility

Typically, your eligible dependents include your spouse and any dependent children who meet the eligibility requirements outlined in your Summary Plan Description (SPD)

If your spouse or parent works for, or is retired from Caterpillar and you are currently a dependent on his or her healthcare coverage, your spouse or parent must contact the Caterpillar Benefits Center to remove you from his or her healthcare coverage in order for you to complete your enrollment process. Once you are eligible for benefits as an employee, you are no longer eligible to be enrolled as a dependent under another employee's coverage (unless you are a dependent child under age 26).
