Not yet. You’ve submitted your enrollment application and contract, but there are a few required onboarding steps to complete before your benefits are finalized: 

1. Complete your E-Verify, including your I9 and W4 verification.
2. Complete your direct deposit connection through Plaid.

Once both steps are complete and approved, you’ll be fully enrolled and your first payment processed. 

You will receive an onboarding email with a secure link and instructions to complete your federally required employment forms.

After completing onboarding, you will receive a separate email with a secure link to securely set up your direct deposit information.

Once these steps are completed and processed, your enrollment will be finalized.

Because you are enrolling in employer-sponsored group benefits, federal employment and tax documentation is required to legally establish your Associate status. 

The bank account information you entered during enrollment was used to authorize payment for your selected benefits and related costs.

As part of your onboarding process, you are also required to complete a separate direct deposit setup through our payroll system. This is because you are enrolled as a W-2 associate of 1099 Workers in order to access group health benefits.

These are two separate systems that serve different purposes:

• Enrollment payment information = used for benefit payment authorization
• Payroll direct deposit information = used for payroll processing and any applicable net pay deposits

Because benefits are processed through payroll, direct deposit setup is required to complete onboarding and activate your benefits.

No. You are enrolling through 1099 Workers to access group health benefits.

Your major medical coverage is provided through the CoreChoice program, a union-sponsored group plan.

To access group benefits, you must be employed by the sponsoring organization.

By enrolling, you become a part-time, on-call W-2 Associate of 1099 Workers. This structure allows you to access benefits typically only available through employers.

No. The Associate role is part-time, flexible, and on-call.

There are no required hours, tasks, or job responsibilities tied to your enrollment.

No. This does not affect your current employment, self-employment, or business.

You can continue working wherever and however you choose.

The easiest way to think about it is like a very small part-time role — not for income, but to access group benefits.

You’ll complete: 

• I-9 employment verification 
• E-Verify confirmation 
• Standard federal and state tax forms 

These are federally required for all U.S. employers to verify work eligibility. 

In most cases, you should leave additional income, dependents, and extra withholding sections blank unless directed otherwise by your personal tax advisor. 

(We recommend consulting a tax professional if you have specific questions about your individual situation.) 

It is tied to your associate classification and does not create job responsibilities. 

Yes. You pay 100% of the cost of the benefits you selected. 

Your total cost (shown on your enrollment summary page) includes: 

• The benefit plan cost 
• Applicable payroll taxes 
• Administrative fees 
• Your Associate “salary” (required for payroll structure) 

Payments are collected semi-monthly (typically on the 1st and 15th) through payroll. 

Because you are enrolling in employer-sponsored benefits, payroll is required to properly administer: 

• Section 125 pre-tax benefits 
• Tax reporting 
• Withholding requirements 

Nearly all of the payroll amount goes toward your benefits. As a result, your net paycheck will be very small — and that is completely expected. 

If you chose to pay by credit card, a 3% processing fee applies. 

Yes. At the end of the year, you’ll receive a W-2 from 1099 Workers. 

It will reflect: 

• Payments made toward your Section 125 benefits 
• Your negligible net salary 

Simply include it with your other tax documents when filing your annual return.
