I'm wondering if I'm able to transition as a full-time employee if I would be able to enroll immediately in health insurance or if I would have to wait for the open enrollment period.

Edit: I am not contracted through a temp agency. It's a temporary position with the company.

In my experience it has depended more on the employer than anything else. Some will make you wait, others will say “you’re good”.

It’s something you’ll need to ask the temp agency you’re currently employed by and the company you are assigned to by the temp agency.

I should have specified that my job isn't through an agency but directly with the company.

[–] StrawberryPigtails@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

In this case it wouldn’t change anything. You would still need to ask the company. They might make you wait 30, 60 or 90 days or they might not.

Although, I didn’t ask where you are, and in this case it is relevant, as my answer is based on employment practices in the USA.

And no, open enrollment wouldn’t be relevant in this case, at least in the US. Changing employment status is generally considered a qualifying life event.

Matches with what others have said here. Thanks for confirming!
