Dependents who lose health coverage provided by their employer due to termination, must enroll in the PEBB Plan within 31 days from the date their employer-provided coverage ends. Proof of continuous coverage is necessary for this to occur. Coverage can continue up to 36 months. Coverage for the dependent starts the first of the month following the start of school. The employee is responsible for reporting their child's student eligibility to their carrier on an annual basis.
Coverage continues during the non-work period.
If your regular nine month or cyclic appointment ends on May 15, premiums are taken from the May 25th paycheck to cover the non-work period months. The majority of the premium for your medical coverage is paid for by the University. All of the available managed care plans have nearly identical benefits packages. To offer these benefits, some plans may charge an additional premium. There are no premiums charged for dental.
