37 Waiving Coverage Active Local Government Employees Local government employees are permitted to waive their SHBP medical and prescription coverage provided they have other health care coverage of their own or as a dependent. Local government employees who waive coverage can thereby avoid the contribution of a percentage of the premiums for health and/or prescription drug coverage required under Chapter 78, P.L Local government employers may offer an incentive to employees who waive medical and prescription coverage. The waiver incentive cannot be more than 25% of the amount saved by the employer or $5,000, whichever is less. Members are not eligible for waiver incentive if other medical coverage is from the SHBP/SEHBP. To waive coverage under the SHBP, a local government employee must submit an SHBP Coverage Waiver/Reinstatement Form and an SHBP Application for Active Local Employees. To reinstate coverage under the SHBP, a local government employee must complete an SHBP Coverage Waiver/Reinstatement Form and an SHBP Application for Active Local Government Employees. The member must notify the SHBP within 60 days of the loss of the other coverage and provide proof of loss of that coverage. Reinstatement will be effective immediately following the loss of the employee's other health plan coverage. 37

41 COBRA Active Local Government Employees COBRA is a federally regulated law that gives employees and their eligible dependents the opportunity to remain in their employer's group coverage when they would otherwise lose coverage because of certain qualifying events. COBRA coverage is available for limited time periods and the member must pay the full cost of the coverage plus an administrative fee. 41
42 Chapter 375 Active Local Government Employees Understanding Chapter 375 Under Chapter 375, an over age child (aged 26 31) does not have any choice in the selection of benefits but is enrolled for coverage in exactly the same plan or plans (medical and/or prescription drug) that the covered parent has selected. Dental coverage is not available. Chapter 375 Billing The covered parent is billed directly and therefore responsible for the cost of Chapter 375 coverage. Bills cannot be sent to any address but the covered parent s address. 42
43 Chapter 375 When Coverage Ends Active Local Government Employees Ch. 375 When Coverage Ends When the child no longer meets any one of the eligibility requirements When the covered parent s coverage ends Example: retirement, termination of employment, divorce, or death of the covered parent. Coverage may also be terminated in the event of non payment of the required premiums. NO reinstatement of benefits if termination is due to non payment of premiums. Chapter 375 coverage ends on the first of the month following the event that makes the child ineligible or up until the paid through date in the case of non payment. Applications are not required when a dependent ages out. Our system automatically terminates the coverage. Note: There is no provision for the continuation of group coverage under COBRA for a child due to the loss of Chapter 375 coverage. Nor is there any provision for conversion to non group coverage. See Fact Sheet #74 for more information. 43
44 Reminder About Important Dates Active Local Government Employees The Annual Open Enrollment period is October 1 October 31, Applications are due at the Division of Pensions and Benefits no later than November 14, Effective date of coverage for changes during Open Enrollment is January 1, Properly certified application WITH documentation should be submitted promptly to ensure timely processing and enrollment.
