Spouses

A spouse is the individual to whom you’re lawfully married and not legally separated from. Spouses must live in the U.S. to be eligible for coverage.

Domestic partners

A qualified domestic partner is an individual with whom you’re in a domestic partnership, civil union, or other similar formal relationship that’s not a marriage under state law.

For your domestic partner to be eligible for Nutanix benefits, you and your partner must satisfy either of these requirements:

  • Your domestic partner or civil union partner of the same or opposite sex that is currently certified and/or registered as such with any governmental body, pursuant to national, state, city, or local law; or
  • You have a committed relationship that has existed for at least 12 consecutive months prior to the date you’re requesting coverage for your domestic partner, you’ve maintained the same principal place of residence for at least six consecutive months prior to the date you’re requesting coverage, and you’re responsible to each other for the direction and financial management of your household.

Additionally, to be eligible, domestic partners must be:

  • Living in the United States;
  • At least 18 years old;
  • Not related by blood to a degree that would prohibit marriage in your state; and
  • Not married under statutory or common law, legally separated, or in a partnership with anyone else, and neither has been in such a relationship for the last 12 months.

Note: If you cover a domestic partner who does not qualify as a tax dependent, the value of these benefits is subject to imputed income.

Children

Your eligible children include:

  • Your biological children
  • Your stepchildren
  • Your domestic partner’s children
  • Your legally adopted children, including children placed with you for adoption
  • Children for whom you’re responsible as a legal guardian or under the terms of a Qualified Medical Child Support Order (QMCSO)

Your children are eligible for medical, dental, and vision benefits through the end of the month in which they turn age 26 or if they permanently move out of the U.S.

Children are eligible at any age if they have a physical or mental disability, are incapable of self-support, and are dependent upon you for support.

Imputed Income for Domestic Partner Coverage

Qualified domestic partners and/or their eligible children may be enrolled in medical, dental, vision and Voluntary Life and Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) insurance coverage. Due to IRS regulations, if you cover a domestic partner or domestic partner's child who does not qualify as a tax dependent, the value of these benefits is generally added to your taxable income and subject to federal and state income and payroll taxes. This practice is known as “imputed income.”

This means their coverage is a taxable benefit. The value of the benefit will be added to your paycheck in order for taxes to be deducted. You will see the value added, taxed, and removed on your paycheck. Your imputed income will be included on your W-2. In addition, if you are required to pay a premium for the coverage, you will pay the premium for your domestic partner’s coverage on an after-tax basis.
