Employee eligibility
In order to apply for GuideStone’s life and health products, employees must be considered “eligible.”  An “eligible employee” is:

• A paid employee of a church, agency or institution affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention (or other organization currently participating with GuideStone); and
• Working 20 or more hours per week.

Employees of multiple SBC employers will still be eligible if the hours worked per week with the multiple employers total 20 or more.

Students at participating Southern Baptist seminaries are also eligible for certain life and health products.

To maintain eligibility, employees must continue to meet the above requirements. Failure to do so could render an employee ineligible for GuideStone’s life and health products.

Dependent eligibility
An employee must have coverage in order for a dependent to also be covered on a GuideStone plan. Eligible dependents include:

• The employee's spouse.
• Unmarried children under age 25 who are dependent on the employee for support and maintenance.
• An unmarried child (over age 25) who is covered under the employee and is incapacitated. (Review Plan Booklets for more information on incapacitated children).

Children are not required to maintain student status in order to remain eligible for GuideStone coverage.
