S.D. Admin. R. 20:06:46:14
In accordance with §§ 20:06:46:03 to 20:06:46:05, inclusive, a carrier subject to this chapter may not establish a rule for eligibility or set an individual's premium or contribution rate based on whether the individual is actively-at-work, including whether an individual is continuously employed, unless absence from work due to any health factor is treated, for purposes of the plan, as being actively-at-work. However, a carrier subject to this chapter may establish a rule for eligibility that requires an individual to begin work for the employer sponsoring the plan before coverage under the plan becomes effective if the rule for eligibility applies regardless of the reasons for the absence.
