N.D. Admin. Code 71-03-03-07

Current through Supplement No. 394, October, 2024
Section 71-03-03-07 - Continuation of health, dental, vision, or prescription drug coverage for dependents

Dependents of employees with family coverage may continue coverage with the group after their eligibility would ordinarily cease. This provision includes divorced or widowed spouses and children when they are no longer dependent on the employee. Coverage is contingent on the prompt payment of the premium, and in no case will coverage continue for more than thirty-six months. Dependents desiring coverage shall notify the board within sixty days of the qualifying event and must submit an application in a timely manner. An individual who fails to notify the board within the sixty days, and who desires subsequent coverage, will not be eligible for coverage.
