\n

If you are declining enrollment for yourself or your dependents (including your spouse) because of other health insurance or group health plan coverage, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents in this plan if you or your dependents lose eligibility for that other coverage (or if the employer stops contributing towards your or your dependents\u2019 other coverage). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, you must request enrollment within 31 days after your or your dependents\u2019 other coverage ends (or after the employer stops contributing toward the other coverage).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a new dependent as a result of marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents. However, you must request enrollment within 31 days after the marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you decline enrollment for yourself or for an eligible dependent (including your spouse) while Medicaid coverage or coverage under a state children\u2019s health insurance program is in effect, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents in this plan if you or your dependents lose eligibility for that other coverage. However, you must request enrollment within 60 days after your or your dependents\u2019 coverage ends under Medicaid or a state children\u2019s health insurance program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you or your dependents (including your spouse) become eligible for a state premium assistance subsidy from Medicaid or through a state children\u2019s health insurance program with respect to coverage under this plan, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents in this plan. However, you must request enrollment within 60 days after your or your dependents\u2019 determination of eligibility for such assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
