Annual Adult Dependent Eligibility Mailing for Health Insurance
October 21, 2009 | Source: Department of Employee Trust Funds
Health plans will be sending the annual notice letter and Adult Child Eligibility Form to health insurance subscribers with dependents age 19 or older (other than spouses) the week of October 26, 2009. The deadline to return the Adult Child Eligibility Form to the health plan is December 1, 2009. Health plans must receive verification forms by this date in order to ensure that health coverage will continue on January 1, 2010. If health plans receive the verification forms after December 1, 2009, the dependent’s health insurance coverage may end as of December 31, 2009.
Note: Health plans are not allowed to accept verbal responses to the Adult Child Eligibility Form. Incomplete and/or unreturned verification forms may result in denied/delayed prescription drug benefits and claims for dependents.
Health insurance subscribers switching health plans during the 2010 It’s Your-Choice enrollment period must complete and return the Adult Child Eligibility Form to the health plan that initiated the letter and covered the subscribers in 2009, not the new health plan selected for 2010. Employee Trust Funds (ETF) will notify the new health plan of any dependent status changes based on responses to the Adult Child Eligibility Form.
If a health insurance subscriber wants to delete a dependent, they are instructed to submit a Health Insurance Application/Change Form, ET-2301 to their benefits coordinator or campus benefits office so that the dependent can be removed from coverage and a COBRA continuation notification be issued.
Note: If the employee with family coverage chooses not to continue coverage of an adult child that is otherwise eligible, it is a voluntary cancellation and the child is not eligible for COBRA coverage.
