Enrollment The Competitive Supplier shall be responsible for enrolling all Eligible Consumers through EDI transactions submitted to the LDC for all enrollments of Eligible Consumers during the term of this Agreement.
Enrollment Requirements You must maintain with Blue Cross and Blue Shield a current and updated listing of covered employees. You will be responsible for all claims costs and expenses associated with failure to maintain an accurate and current listing with Blue Cross and Blue Shield, unless such claims costs and expenses are due to an error on Blue Cross and Blue Shield’s part. In order to maintain health care coverage with Blue Cross and Blue Shield, an employee must meet the written eligibility requirements (such as length of service, active employment and number of hours worked) you impose as long as they do not conflict with Blue Cross and Blue Shield’s eligibility requirements. An eligible employee as defined by Blue Cross and Blue Shield means: • A permanent full-time employee regularly working 30 hours or more each week at the employer’s usual place(s) of business and who is paid a salary or wage in accordance with state and federal wage requirements; or • A permanent part-time employee regularly working at least 20 hours but less than 30 hours each week at the employer’s usual place(s) of business and who is paid a salary or wage in accordance with state and federal wage requirements; or • A disabled permanent full-time or part-time employee who is actively working despite the disability (including one who is engaged in a trial work period) and a disabled employee who is not actively working but whom the employer treats as an employee; or • A former employee (or a former covered dependent of the employee of the group) who qualifies for continued group coverage under federal or state law, but only if the employer maintains Blue Cross and Blue Shield group coverage for permanent full-time employees as defined in (a) above; or • A retired employee of the employer. Newly hired employees who are eligible for group benefits can enroll in the benefits plan according to your eligibility requirements for coverage, provided that your requirements comply with Blue Cross and Blue Shield’s eligibility and enrollment requirements. The effective date of an eligible employee’s (or his or her dependent’s) membership in the benefits plan may be the Member’s initial eligibility date or your subsequent anniversary/renewal date, as long as: (a) Blue Cross and Blue Shield receives your written notice no later than 30 days after the Member’s enrollment notification period applicable to membership modifications (as described in the Subscriber Certificate for your benefits plan); and (b) you pay the applicable premium charges.
Application Form To apply for a pole attachment or conduit occupancy license under this Agreement, Applicant shall submit to SWBT two signed copies of the appropriate application forms. SWBT represents that the forms specified in subsections (a)-(b) are forms in use prior to the effective date of this Agreement and that SWBT is in the process of revising such forms to conform to the provisions of this Agreement and to streamline the application process. The parties therefore agree that the forms specified in subsections (a) and (b) will be interim forms only. SWBT reserves the right to change the format and content of these forms upon 60 days written notice to Applicant. (a) To apply for a pole attachment license, Applicant shall submit to SWBT two signed copies of SWBT’s Form SW-9434 (“Access Application and Make- Ready Authorization”) together with completed Form SW-9433 (“Pole Attachments”). An application for a pole attachment license will not be complete or subject to processing by SWBT until these forms have been submitted to SWBT; provided, however, that such forms will be deemed to be substantially complete if they contain the information specified in subsections (c)-(h) below, as applicable. Copies of Forms SW-9433 and SW-9434 are attached to this Agreement as parts of APPENDIX III. (b) To apply for a conduit occupancy license, Applicant shall submit to SWBT two signed copies of SWBT’s Form SW-9434 (“Access Application and Make-Ready Authorization”) together with completed Form SW-9435 (“Conduit Occupancy”). An application for a conduit occupancy license will not be complete or subject to processing by SWBT until these forms have been submitted to SWBT; provided, however, that such forms will be deemed to be substantially complete if they contain the information specified in subsections (c)-(h) below, as applicable. Copies of Forms SW-9434 and SW-9435 are attached to this Agreement as parts of APPENDIX III. (c) Each application for a license under this Agreement shall include, at a minimum, the following information: (1) the poles, ducts, and conduits (including all manholes) along Applicant’s proposed route to or within which Applicant desires to attach or place its facilities; (2) a description of the facilities to be attached to SWBT’s poles and a description of the facilities to be placed within each component of SWBT’s conduit system (including but not limited to ducts, conduits, manholes, and handholes) along the proposed route; (3) for poles, the proposed points of attachment; (4) for building entrance or building distribution ducts or conduits or other space within a building, a conspicuous statement, as required by Section 5.06 of this Agreement, that the application pertains to a building entrance or building distribution duct or conduit or other space within a building; (5) if applicable, a conspicuous notation that the space requested is not to be assigned (or billed) to Applicant until SWBT has received Applicant’s written instruction to make such assignment or issued a license authorizing Applicant to occupy the space requested; and (6) if applicable, a conspicuous statement that Applicant intends to occupy the space before the issuance of a license, as provided in Section 8.03 of this Agreement. (d) Facilities descriptions which apply to multiple pole attachments or conduit occupancies need only be described once on any form. Facilities descriptions shall include, at a minimum, the following information: (1) the number and types of cables, including the physical size (diameter) and weight (weight per foot); (2) the number and types of strands, if any, which will be used to support the cables, including the rated holding capacity expressed in thousand pound increments (e.g., 2.2M) of such strands; and (3) sufficient information to identify and describe the physical characteristics (size, dimensions, and weight) of apparatus enclosures and other facilities to be attached to SWBT’s poles or placed in SWBT’s conduit system. (e) When it appears to Applicant that facilities modification, capacity expansion, or make-ready work may be required to accommodate Applicant’s access requests, Applicant shall describe the facilities modification, capacity expansion, or make-ready work which Applicant proposes. Applicant shall also describe its plans, if any, to use any infrequent construction technique or connectivity solution authorized under Section 6.03 to avoid high or unusual expenditures and state its reasons for the use of such technique or solution. (f) Applicant acknowledges that the poles along a particular pole line or route may include poles owned by firms (such as electric utilities) other than SWBT, that it may be necessary for SWBT to rearrange its facilities or perform other make-ready work on poles other than poles it owns or controls in order to accommodate Applicant’s request for access to SWBT’s poles and that, at the time an application is submitted, it may be difficult for Applicant to determine with certainty whether a particular pole is owned or controlled by SWBT or by another entity. Accordingly, the application shall, to the extent feasible, identify all poles utilized by SWBT (without regard to ownership) along Applicant’s proposed route. (g) Each application for a license under this Agreement shall be accompanied by a construction schedule showing Applicant’s projected dates for beginning and completing construction at the sites specified in the application. Information on this schedule may be used by SWBT’s engineering and outside plant construction personnel in scheduling work required to process Applicant’s applications and scheduling such capacity expansions, make- ready work, and facilities modifications, if any, as may be necessary to accommodate Applicant’s facilities. (h) Applicant may include multiple cables in a single license application and may provide multiple services (e.g., CATV and non-CATV services) under the same cable sheath or jacket. When both CATV and non-CATV services are provided under the same cable sheath or jacket, or CATV and non-CATV services are provided using different cables attached or lashed to the same strand or otherwise occupying the same space on a pole or the same duct or inner duct within a conduit, Applicant will so advise SWBT and SWBT shall, if permitted by law, adjust its charges to enable SWBT to charge Applicant the rate applicable to telecommunications carriers rather than the rate applicable to cable television systems solely to provide cable service.
