If the employee misses both of these designated enrollment periods, the employee is limited to the Standard Plan. Coverage is effective on the date of birth, adoption, placement for adoption, or on the first of the month following the request for enrollment following a marriage. An employee with no previous WRS service begins WRS-eligible employment. The employee does not elect health insurance coverage within the first 30 days of employment. The employee's spouse has a baby prior to the date the employer contribution begins.
Coverage is effective on the date of birth.
The employee can elect family coverage by submitting an application within 30 days of the birth. An application and other information documenting the employee's loss of coverage or loss of employer's premium contribution must be submitted within 30 days of the date the other coverage or employer's premium contribution ended. Coverage will be effective on the date the other coverage or the employer's premium contribution ends.
