Benefits Eligibility
Find out who you can cover under your Michaels benefits.
- Most plans provide coverage for eligible dependents. If you need to cover family members, you can review the eligibility requirements to determine who is eligible.
- Remember, your spouse or domestic partner cannot be covered by a Michaels medical plan if full-time medical coverage is available through their employer.
Benefit Options & Plan Information
Make sure to compare all available benefit plans so that you can choose the right coverage for you and your family.
You’ll find plan information divided into four main categories:
- Health – Medical, Dental, and Vision
- Spend & Save – FSA, HSA, HRA, and 401(k) Retirement
- Other Insurance – Disability, Life and AD&D, Critical Illness, Hospital Indemnity, and Accident
- Life & Family – Pet Insurance
Medical Plan Comparison Tool
Use the eValuate tool to help you choose the medical coverage that’s best suited for you and your family.
Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)
You may want to take advantage of setting aside tax-free money in a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to help pay for eligible out-of-pocket expenses.
Keep in mind that your FSA elections from the previous year do not roll over when a new year begins. You must enroll each year during FSA Open Enrollment.
Life Insurance
Figure out how much Life and AD&D insurance coverage you need to protect yourself and those you love. Your beneficiaries are managed in Workday and you can change your designation at any time.
Disability Coverage
Disability coverage is an important benefit that ensures you will receive a portion of your paycheck in the event that you are unable to work due to illness or injury.
- Eligible salaried Team Members are automatically enrolled in Disability coverage.
- If you’re an hourly Team Member, you can decide whether you want to enroll* in Disability coverage.
*Short-Term Disability (STD) coverage is not available in California, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, or Washington.
Voluntary Benefits
You can enroll in voluntary benefits such as Life and AD&D for you and your dependent(s), Accident Insurance, Critical Illness Insurance, Hospital Indemnity Insurance, and Pet Insurance.
Wellness & Tobacco Surcharge Savings
Once you’ve enrolled, you can avoid surcharges and higher medical premiums by fulfilling the wellness exam requirement and qualifying as tobacco-free each plan year.
Enroll Online
When you’re ready to make your elections, you will complete online enrollment in Workday. Remember, if you don’t enroll, you will not have coverage.
Choose Wisely — No Changes After Enrolling!
Changes to your benefit elections are only allowed outside of the open enrollment period if you have a qualifying life event, such as a birth, adoption, marriage, or divorce. Changes in status must be made within 30 days of the qualifying life event. For more information, follow this link: Change in Status.
