Overview
Welcome to WinnCompanies! We care about your well-being and the well-being of your family members. That’s why we’re proud to offer a comprehensive team member benefits package.
As a new team member, your benefits are effective on your 30th day of employment. You will have 60 days from your date of hire to enroll in or waive your benefits. Carefully review the website to understand your benefit options and make your plan selections.
Please note: If you miss the opportunity to enroll when initially eligible, you will have to wait until Open Enrollment or a qualifying life event.
Need Assistance?
Call the Aptia365 Benefits Center at 1-855-559-4515 from 7 am to 9 pm ET, Monday through Friday, to speak with a benefits counselor in English or Spanish. Benefits counselors are available to enroll you in your benefits and help you understand your options so you can make the right choices for your needs and your budget. You can also chat online with a benefits counselor on the Aptia365 website.
Eligibility
To be eligible for benefits from WinnCompanies, you must be an active, regular team member working a minimum of 30 hours a week, and you must have completed 30 days of service.
In addition to enrolling yourself in benefits coverage, you may also enroll certain dependents. Your eligible dependents may include:
- Your legal spouse or domestic partner
- Your children up to age 26
- Any dependents you are a legal guardian of
Only those dependents meeting the eligibility requirements can enroll for coverage.
Are you enrolling a spouse or domestic partner?
If you plan to enroll a spouse or domestic partner in benefits coverage, please note that the WinnCompanies medical plans include a spousal/domestic partner surcharge. If you choose to cover your spouse/domestic partner under the WinnCompanies benefits, and he/she has access to other health coverage, you will pay an additional $600 per year for your medical insurance. See the rate information on Aptia365 for details.
Keep in mind that per IRS rules, the amount that WinnCompanies pays toward the cost of your domestic partner’s coverage will be considered imputable income and taxed accordingly. Team Members choosing to enroll a Domestic Partner will be required to complete an affidavit certifying the Domestic Partner relationship.

TIP: Think about the whole cost.
When choosing a medical plan, it’s important to think about the whole cost of coverage — the amount you’ll spend out of your paycheck, as well as out of your pocket (copays, deductibles, and coinsurance). Review the cost estimator tool on the Aptia365 website to see how much you can expect to pay under each medical plan option.

Log In
The first time you visit the Aptia365 website, click on "Get Started" to register your account. After you register, you’ll select a unique username and password that you'll use whenever you come back to the site. Your username must be an email address.
For your security
As part of the registration process, you'll be asked to provide your email address or phone number to set up multifactor authentication (MFA). MFA combines your username and password with an additional security factor — a temporary numeric code sent to you — to confirm your identity and keep your information secure.
Once you receive this numeric code, you will enter it on the website to confirm your identity. For your security, each time you log in, you'll be prompted to enter a new temporary code to gain access to your account.
Make Your Elections
To select your benefits, click on the “Get Started” link on the homepage. The Aptia365 website at https://aptia365.com/WinnBenefits gives you personalized help with choosing benefits. You have two ways to enroll online, based on how much guidance you want.
You can select:
- Receive Expert Guidance if you're not sure which plans are best for you and your family. With this feature, you answer a few quick questions about your healthcare needs and personal preferences, and Aptia365 generates a customized benefits package that offers the best match for you.
- Choose Your Own if you want to take a more traditional approach to enrolling in your benefits one at a time. You'll still have plenty of decision support, including a cost estimator tool to help you see how much you can expect to pay under each medical plan option based on your estimated healthcare expenses.
