In administering the employer’s plan, ConnectiCare will generally rely on the employer’s decisions about employee benefit eligibility. As noted elsewhere, for fully-insured plans, the requirement that employees work full time (or part time if allowed by their employer) have been relaxed during the public emergency. In addition, during this time, rules have also been relaxed if there is a provision in the employer’s policy about a reduction in or elimination of work hours affecting eligibility, as long as employment has not been terminated. In all cases, employers must continue to send premium payments to ConnectiCare for all covered persons for ConnectiCare to continue coverage. Coverage must be offered on a uniform, non-discriminatory basis to all employees, and employee premium contributions must be the same or less prior to a furlough or reduction in hours. If employers have questions about COBRA, or other lines of insurance, they should contact their benefits advisors.
