Active Employee Coverage. An active employee is one who is employed and meets the minimum number of hours worked per year as established by his/her employer. 1. If the public entity allows elected/appointed officials to participate in medical coverage, the definition of an employee includes elected/appointed officials where applicable. 2. The entity will determine the eligibil- ity requirements of waiting periods, required number of working hours, pay status, and contribution levels. 3. An active employee cannot be covered as an employee and as a dependent. 4. If an active employee has been enrolled as a dependent of another MCHCP subscriber as allowed by these rules, and the subscriber dies before coverage as a depen- dent goes into effect, the active employee may elect coverage as a subscriber within thirty-one (31) days of the date of death. 5. If one (1) spouse is an active state employee or retiree with MCHCP benefits and the other is an active public entity employee or retiree with MCHCP benefits, each spouse may enroll under his or her employer’s plan or together under one (1) employer’s plan. The spouses cannot have coverage in both places.
