Part-time employees, interns, and those working through the apprenticeship or returnship program

Wellbeing: You can access wellbeing programs like the Employee Assistance Program, BeWell, Headspace, and family planning benefits through Carrot (when enrolled in a Nutanix Medical plan).

Note: You are not eligible for any other benefits under the Plan.

Spouses

Your spouse can be covered under Nutanix health benefits if:

  • You're legally married,
  • You're not legally separated, and
  • You both live in the United States.

​If your spouse also works at Nutanix, you can each enroll in your own health plan, or one of you can be covered as a dependent under the other's plan. Choose what works best for your family's needs.

Note: If your spouse is a Nutanix employee AND covered as your dependent, they won't be eligible for certain Nutanix benefits like the BeWell credit or the medical opt-out credit.

Domestic partners

A domestic partner is someone you're in a committed relationship with, which is either formally recognized (like a civil union) or long term and stable. To be eligible for Nutanix benefits, your partner must meet one of these requirements:

  • Be certified or registered as a domestic partner or civil union partner with a government agency, or
  • Be in a committed relationship with you for at least 12 consecutive months, share a home with you for at least six months, and jointly manage your household.

​​Your partner must also:

  • Live in the United States,
  • Be at least 18 years old,
  • Not be closely related to you by blood (to a degree that would prohibit marriage in your state), and
  • Not be married or in another partnership.

Tax Note: If your domestic partner is not a tax dependent, the value of their benefits may be considered imputed income and taxable to you.

Children

​Your eligible children include:

  • Biological children and adopted children (including those placed with you for foster care and adoption),
  • Stepchildren,
  • Your domestic partner's children, and
  • Children you're legally responsible for (for example, through a Qualified Medical Child Support Order).

Children can be covered by medical, dental, and vision benefits until the end of the month in which they turn age 26. If a child moves permanently outside of the U.S., coverage ends at the end of that month.

Children with a certified physical or mental disability who are dependent on you for support can continue coverage beyond age 26. Note: Certification must be completed prior to age 26.

Tax Note: If your domestic partner's child isn't a tax dependent, their benefits may be subject to imputed income and taxable to you.

Who is NOT eligible for Nutanix benefits

You're not eligible for Nutanix benefits if you are:

  • A part-time employee who is scheduled to work less than 20 hours per week.
  • A consultant.
  • A temporary employee.
  • An agency employee.
  • A dependent who is not residing or living in the U.S.

Imputed Income for Domestic Partner Coverage

If you enroll a domestic partner or their child in medical, dental, vision, or voluntary life and AD&D insurance, and they don't qualify as your tax dependent, the IRS considers the value of their coverage a taxable benefit to you. This is called imputed income.

Here's what that means for you:

  • The value of their coverage will be added to your paycheck so taxes can be withheld.
  • You'll see the value added, taxed, and then removed on your paycheck. It's not extra pay, just a way to calculate the taxes.
  • This imputed income will also be included on your W-2 at the end of the year.
  • You'll pay your own benefit premiums on a pre-tax basis, but your domestic partner's premium value will be paid on an after-tax basis.
