What happens to your benefits when you sign a contract extension:


Benefits When Extending Your Contract

If you sign an extension at your current facility, your benefits will just continue as is! If you take time off before the extension starts, you will have to catch up on deductions for the missed benefits deductions on your first paycheck back. You have the option to update or make changes to your benefits plans when you sign an extension! If you would like to update or make changes to your benefits at this time, please reach out to your Clinical Success Partner via Inbox and let them know!

What happens if I have a gap of 7 days or less?

If you sign a contract for a new assignment at your current facility or another facility with a gap of 7 days or less, your benefits will automatically roll over from your previous assignment. If you would like to keep your benefits the way they are, you do not need to do anything! If you would like to change your benefits for the new assignment, please follow the instructions in the "Rehire Notification - Payroll and Benefits" email you will receive from Trusted on the first day of the new assignment.

What happens if I have a gap of 28 days or less?

If you sign a contract for a new assignment at your current facility or another facility that has a start date within 28 days or less of your current end date, you must let your Care Team know before your current assignment ends that you'd like to stay enrolled in your current benefit plans and we can then keep them active.*

You will have catch-up deductions for the missed benefits deductions on the first paycheck of your new assignment. If you would like to keep benefits active during this gap, reach out to your Care Team for assistance by sending a new message in Inbox.

What happens if I have a gap of more than 28 days?

If any of the below options apply, you will be able to enroll in COBRA during your gap. You can then re-enroll in benefits on the first day of your new assignment!

  • If you sign a contract for an extension processed as a new assignment due to the amount of extended time off (>28 days) at your current facility.

  • If you sign a contract for a new assignment at another facility that has a start date more than 28 days from your current end date.

What happens if I sign a new contract after my most recent assignment ends?

If you sign a contract AFTER your most recent assignment ends, your benefits will not cover you during that gap (regardless of the length of the gap).

But you will be able to enroll in COBRA during your gap. You can then re-enroll in benefits on the first day of your new assignment!
