Section 2 AAC 39.240 - Premium payments(a) A benefit recipient who elects dental-vision-audio insurance coverage must pay for that coverage by paying the premium established by the administrator. Premium payments are deducted from the monthly benefit warrant unless the benefit is insufficient to permit the deduction of the full monthly premium. If at any time the benefit amount is insufficient to cover the full monthly premium, the administrator will notify the benefit recipient, and all premium payments due after the notice must be made by the recipient directly to the insurance carrier. Retroactive premiums, to the date coverage would have lapsed due to an insufficient benefit warrant, must be paid directly to the insurance carrier by the benefit recipient.(b) A benefit recipient who pays a premium directly to the insurance carrier forfeits the right to participate in the plan if(1) a premium payment is delinquent by more than 60 days; or(2) premium payments are delinquent twice in any one calendar year by more than 31 days.Eff. 7/1/82; am 5/31/87, Register 102; am 1/29/89, Register 109; am 10/24/2020, Register 236, January 2021Authority:AS 39.30.090(a)
