Learn about eligibility requirements for associates and dependents to participate in Albertsons benefits.

Who is eligible?

Associates eligible for Company plans working 30 or more hours per week are eligible for myACI Benefits on the first day of the month following 30 days from date of hire.*

Generally, myACI Benefits do not apply to associates who receive benefits through a union trust. Check with your local union representative for information about benefits eligibility.

* Some variations apply for pharmacists, Hawaii associates and certain union associates eligible for Company plans.

Whom can you cover?

  • Your spouse
  • Your same-sex or opposite-sex domestic partner (If you cover a domestic partner, the cost of coverage may be taxable due to IRS rules.)
  • Your child(ren) up to age 26
    • Eligible children include your biological children, your spouse or domestic partner’s biological children, adopted children, stepchildren and legal wards.
  • Your disabled child(ren) age 26 and older who:
    • became disabled prior to turning age 26;
    • is primarily dependent on you for support;
    • is enrolled in the Medical Program (or another major medical group health plan) on the day immediately prior to attaining age 26;
    • is incapable of self-sustaining employment because of medical or physical disability; and
    • for whom application for extended coverage as a disabled dependent child is made within 31 days after reaching the age limit of 26 or being enrolled in the Medical Program.

You must complete the dependent verification process as described below for all newly added dependents.

Dependent verification process

If you are enrolling new dependents under your medical, dental or vision coverage, you must submit documentation verifying that they are eligible for coverage under Albertsons plans.

Download a Dependent Verification Requirements Flyer which lists the allowable documents you can submit to verify your dependent’s eligibility to be covered under Albertsons healthcare plans. If you cover a domestic partner, a declaration of common law marriage or an affidavit of domestic partnership is required.

You have two options to submit verification documents:

  • Upload a cover page with your name, employee ID, last 4 digits of your SSN and daytime telephone number along with the verification documents using myACI Benefits self-service. Sign in at myACI.albertsons.com. From the Me page, click on the Benefits tile, then click on the Pending Actions tile. Select the name of the family member to whom the documentation applies and follow the onscreen instructions to upload the document.
  • Mail the cover page with your name, employee ID, last 4 digits of your SSN and daytime telephone number and verification documents to:

Benefits eligibility for part-time associates

Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), employers are required to offer employees the opportunity to enroll in benefits if they meet certain qualifications. In most cases, hourly associates must work 30 or more hours per week to be eligible for Albertsons benefits.
