Common use of Portability of Coverage Clause in Contracts

Portability of Coverage. If you terminate employment and go to work for another participating Employer within six (6) months, you will be immediately eligible for coverage under your new Employer's plan, providing you are actively at work on your first day of work. If due to injury or illness you are not actively at work on that day, then coverage will be effective after seven (7) days as described under joining the plan. Your level of coverage will be that offered under your new Employer's plan, and may differ from your previous coverage. You must ask your new Employer to arrange this transfer of coverage within one (1) month of your first day of employment and inform your new Employer of all service counted toward coverage. If you fail to do so, you will have to provide medical evidence of your insurability, at your own expense, to complete the transfer of coverage.
