Full eligibility date definition

What is the Full Eligibility Date?

The full eligibility date is the date on which an employee has worked for the full service period required to be entitled to all benefits stated in the employer's benefit plan. Any additional benefits to be gained by working for a longer period of time past this point are considered trivial. The full eligibility date is not affected by the date on which the employee begins to receive benefits.
