Making changes to a HIP account.
(1) A partnership participant may add an eligible dependent to a HIP account:
(a) Annually, during the subsidy application and renewal period; or
(b) When there is a qualifying change in family status. In these cases, the partnership participant must notify the administrator on the required form within thirty calendar days of the change in family status. A "qualifying change in family status" means:
⢠The loss of other health care coverage for a dependent who has previously waived coverage in the partnership participant's employer-sponsored health benefit plan;
⢠The birth, adoption, or placement for adoption of a dependent child in the partnership participant's home;
⢠The partnership participant marries;
⢠The partnership participant or his or her spouse assumes custody or dependency of a child or adult dependent; or
⢠A dependent that was previously ineligible for the partnership participant's employer-sponsored health benefit plan coverage has become eligible.
(2) A partnership participant may remove dependents from a HIP account upon divorce, annulment, or legal separation, or upon the death of a dependent. In these cases, the partnership participant must notify the HIP within thirty calendar days of the change in family status.
(3) A partnership participant must notify the HIP of a change in his or her physical address within thirty calendar days of the change of address.
