5.3.1.1 Health Insurance Coverage for health insurance is effective the first day of the month after employment begins.
Dependent coverage is available at the individual's expense.
Under certain conditions insurance coverage may be extended beyond the time eligibility normally ceases. If an otherwise eligible child becomes ineligible due to any of these same reasons, or due to age requirements, that child is also eligible to continue coverage. Please contact the Office of Human Resources for additional information. 5.3.1.2 Life Insurance Coverage effective date is the same as health insurance. Coverage is reduced after the employee's 65th, 70th, and 75th birthdays.
