There is a short waiting period, depending on when you enroll for coverage. If you enroll on or before the 20th of the month, your dental coverage begins on the 1st of the following month. For example, if you enroll on March 19, your benefits will start on April 1.
If you enroll after the 20th of the month, your benefits will start on the 1st of the second month. For example, if you enroll on June 30, your benefits will begin on August 1.
