Eligibility Requirements and Waiting Periods for Members Eligibility requirements and waiting periods for Members are set forth in the Certificate and the applicable Summary(ies) of Dental Plan Benefits. B. General Eligibility Rules No person will be eligible for Benefits under this Contract unless the Contractor has either currently enrolled that person as an Enrollee or currently listed or acknowledged that person as a Dependent.
