Signing Up For Coverage


 

What happens If you Leave State Employment

If you leave State employment, you can continue some of your Flexible Benefits Program choices:

  • You may be eligible to continue your medical, dental, vision coverage and/or Health Care Spending Account for you and eligible family members after your last day of employment.
  • A conversion or portability feature may apply to your employee life, spouse life, and child life insurance, and/or AD&D coverage.
  • You can be billed directly for legal coverage for the rest of the plan year and then convert coverage to an individual policy..
  • You can continue long-term care. Unum will bill you directly.
  • You can convert your Prepaid Dental option coverage to an individual policy and be billed directly by CIGNA Dental.

If you leave active State employment and then return during the same plan year, your previous choices will remain in effect unless you report a qualifying change in status event.

When you go on leave without pay, contact your personnel/payroll office, the State Health Benefit Plan, and the Flexible Benefits Program. If you do not continue paying premiums for coverage, your benefits will be cancelled.

Be sure to review each Plan Description for each option and see your personnel/payroll office for more information.
