So I have a question. I've been working at Target for a month and I was wondering when am I eligible for Medical, Vision, and Dental insurance? Also, is there a way of checking if I'm eligible? Thanks.

Check with your HR person. Recently, they somewhat relaxed the required number of hours and waiting periods before your health-related benefits eligibility, but it's still longer than with some other employers.

P.S. When you look carefully at Target's medical offering, they don't use the term "insurance". Like many big firms, Target uses a federal law called ERISA to self-insure, using an insurance carrier like UnitedHealthCare to run the program. What they offer is health benefits, not insurance. It's a technicality but one you should be aware of.
