Proof of Coverage Employees who submit satisfactory “Proof of Health Insurance Coverage” may elect not to be covered by the County’s health insurance plans. This election may only be made during the County’s open enrollment period or during the year as the result of a qualifying “change in status” as defined by Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code. For employees waiving primary participation in a County-sponsored health plan, the County’s contribution will be deposited into the employee’s Flexible Spending Account.
