When Your Coverage Ends Coverage under this plan is guaranteed renewable. It can only be canceled by us for the following reasons: • if you leave your place of employment; • if you decide to discontinue coverage. Inform your employer prior to the requested date of cancellation and your employer will notify us. If we do not receive your notice prior to the requested date of cancellation, you or your employer may be responsible for paying another month’s premium; • if the required premium is not paid within one month of the due date. We will mail you a notice of discontinuance along with information about enrolling in an individual healthcare plan; • if you or a covered dependent no longer qualifies as an eligible person; • if we no longer offer this type of coverage; • if your employer contracts with another insurer or entity to provide or administer benefits for the covered healthcare services provided by this agreement; • if fraud is determined by us. See Rescission of Coverage section below for additional details; If your healthcare coverage is terminated for one of the reasons listed above, we will send you a termination notice thirty (30) days before the termination date. The notice will indicate the reason why your healthcare coverage has ended. When your coverage ends, you may apply for individual healthcare coverage directly from BCBSRI or through HSRI. You must meet the eligibility requirements and we must receive required enrollment information within sixty (60) days from the date your group coverage ended along with required premium. If you do not reside in Rhode Island, you are not eligible to enroll in an individual plan from BCBSRI or HSRI. You may be able to obtain coverage through an insurance company in the state in which you reside. Rescission of Coverage Rescission is a cancellation or discontinuance of coverage that has a retroactive effect. A cancellation is not a rescission if it: • only has a prospective effect (as described above); or • is due to non-payment of premiums, which can have a retroactive cancellation effect. We may rescind your coverage if you or your dependents commit fraud. Fraud includes, but is not limited to, intentional misuse of your identification card (ID card) or intentional misrepresentation of a material fact. Any benefit paid in the past will be voided. You will be responsible to reimburse us for all costs and claims paid by us. We must provide you a written notice of a rescission at least thirty (30) days in advance. Except for non-payment, we will not contest this policy after it has been in force for a period of two (2) years from the later of the effective date of this agreement or the latest reinstatement date.
Using Your Card You understand that the use of your credit card or credit card account will constitute acknowledgement of receipt and agreement to the terms of the Credit Card Agreement and Credit Card Account Opening Disclosure (Disclosure). You may use your card to make purchases from merchants and others who accept your card. The credit union is not responsible for the refusal of any merchant or financial institution to honor your card. If you wish to pay for goods or services over the Internet, you may be required to provide card number security information before you will be permitted to complete the transaction. In addition, you may obtain cash advances from the Credit Union, from other financial institutions that accept your card, and from some automated teller machines (ATMs). (Not all ATMs accept your card.) If the credit union authorizes ATM transactions with your card, it will issue you a personal identification number (PIN). To obtain cash advances from an ATM, you must use the PIN issued to you for use with your card. You agree that you will not use your card for any transaction that is illegal under applicable federal, state, or local law. Even if you use your card for an illegal transaction, you will be responsible for all amounts and charges incurred in connection with the transaction. If you are permitted to obtain cash advances on your account, you may also use your card to purchase instruments and engage in transactions that we consider the equivalent of cash. Such transactions will be posted to your account as cash advances and include, but are not limited to, wire transfers, money orders, bets, lottery tickets, and casino gaming chips, as applicable. This paragraph shall not be interpreted as permitting or authorizing any transaction that is illegal.
Happen After We Receive Your Letter When we receive your letter, we must do two things:
Short-term Disability Coverage Days Payable at 90% Wages Permanent Employees Subject to paragraphs d), e) and f) below, permanent Employees will be allocated one hundred and twenty (120) short-term disability days at the start of each fiscal year or the first day of employment. Permanent Employees eligible to access short-term disability coverage shall receive payment equivalent to ninety percent (90%) of regular wages.
Disability Coverage In the event a State employee goes on an extended medical disability, or is receiving Workers’ Compensation benefits, the Employer-policyholder shall continue at no cost to the employee the coverage of the group life insurance for such employee for the period of such extended leave, but not beyond two (2) years.
Family Coverage The employee’s cost for family coverage will be nineteen and one-half percent (19.5%) of the family rate for the employee’s Base Medical Plan. If the employee chooses a plan other than the Base Medical Plan, the employee’s cost will be the standard employee’s family rate established for that plan (i.e. the rate applicable where it has not been modified to be a zone’s Base Medical Plan). The employer shall pay the rate over and above the employee’s cost for the Base Medical Plan.
Long-term Disability Coverage New employees may enroll in long-term disability insurance by their initial effective date of coverage. Employees who become eligible for insurance may enroll in long-term disability insurance within thirty (30) days of their initial effective date as defined in this Article, Section 5C. An employee who is insurance eligible and moves from a temporary position to a permanent position will be allowed to enroll in long-term disability coverage within thirty (30) days of the event without providing evidence of insurability. The terms are the same as for employees who wish to add/increase during the annual open enrollment. During open enrollment only, an employee may purchase long-term disability coverage that provides benefits of from three hundred dollars ($300) to seven thousand dollars ($7,000) per month, based on the employee's salary, commencing on the 181st calendar day of total disability, and not subject to evidence of insurability but with a limited term pre-existing condition exclusion. Employees should be aware that other wage replacement benefits, as described in the certificate of coverage (i.e., Social Security Disability, Minnesota State Retirement Disability, etc.), may result in a reduction of the monthly benefit levels purchased. In any event, the minimum is the greater of three hundred dollars ($300) or fifteen (15) percent of the amount purchased. The minimum benefit will not be reduced by any other wage replacement benefit. In the event that the employee becomes totally disabled before age seventy (70), the premiums on this benefit shall be waived.
Life Coverage Paragraph 1: The Board shall provide a group term life coverage in the sum of $30,000 for all teachers employed half time or more. Any increases in coverage shall not be effective until the teacher reports or is able to report for work.
Health Care Coverage The Company shall continue to provide Executive with medical, dental, vision and mental health care coverage at or equivalent to the level of coverage that the Executive had at the time of the termination of employment (including coverage for the Executive’s dependents to the extent such dependents were covered immediately prior to such termination of employment) for the remainder of the Term of Employment, provided, however that in the event such coverage may no longer be extended to Executive following termination of Executive’s employment either by the terms of the Company’s health care plans or under then applicable law, the Company shall instead reimburse Executive for the amount equivalent to the Company’s cost of substantially equivalent health care coverage to Executive under ERISA Section 601 and thereafter and Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code (i.e., COBRA coverage) for a period not to exceed the lesser of (A) 18 months after the termination of Executive’s employment or (B) the remainder of the Term of Employment, and provided further that (1) any such health care coverage or reimbursement for health care coverage shall cease at such time that Executive becomes eligible for health care coverage through another employer and (2) any such reimbursement shall be made no later than the last day of the calendar year following the end of the calendar year with respect to which such coverage or reimbursement is provided. The Company shall have no further obligations to the Executive as a result of termination of employment described in this Section 8(a) except as set forth in Section 12.
