If the fellow submits the enrollment application after 30 days of the start date, coverage then starts on the first of the month following the month in which the application is filed with Postdoctoral Affairs.
Medical coverage ends on the last day of the month in which the postdoc appointment is ending.
Also, If a postdoc's appointment is ending on any day in a month, medical coverage may continue through the end of that month. Dental Coverage Starts on different dates depending on the hire date of the fellow. In any case, the fellow MUST sign up for coverage within 30 days of the date of hire to be eligible for coverage. However, unlike medical coverage, dental coverage does not start on the date of hire. The start date for dental coverage depends on when the hire date falls in a given month.
