requirements apply to medical and dental coverage for you and your Dependents. Continuation of Coverage For leaves of less than 31 days, coverage will continue as described in the Termination section regarding Leave of Absence. For leaves of 31 days or more, you may continue coverage for yourself and your Dependents as follows: You may continue benefits by paying the required premium to your Employer, until the earliest of the following: 24 months from the last day of employment with the Employer; the day after you fail to return to work; and the date the policy cancels. Your Employer may charge you and your Dependents up to 102% of the total premium. Reinstatement of Benefits (applicable to all coverages) If your coverage ends during the leave of absence because you do not elect USERRA at the expiration of USERRA and you are reemployed by your current Employer, coverage for you and your Dependents may be reinstated if you gave your Employer advance written or verbal notice of your military service leave, and the duration of all military leaves while you are employed with your current Employer does not exceed 5 years. You and your Dependents will be subject to only the balance of a waiting period that was not yet satisfied before the leave began. However, if an injury or Sickness occurs or is aggravated during the military leave, full Plan limitations will apply. If your coverage under this plan terminates as a result of your eligibility for military medical and dental coverage and your order to active duty is canceled before your active duty service commences, these reinstatement rights will continue to apply.
Group Plan Coverage Instead of Medicaid If your income and liquid resources do not exceed certain limits established by law, the state may decide to pay premiums for this coverage instead of for Medicaid, if it is cost effective. This includes premiums for continuation coverage required by federal law.
