Returning to Benefit Eligible
Status
(1) A former Eligible Employee returning
to benefit-eligible status with the same Entity following an unpaid leave of absence,
or termination of employment, or returning from a strike, lock-out, layoff, within
six months of the date eligibility was lost will have their benefit plans and coverages
reinstated.
(a) All coverages and plans
previously enrolled in will be effective the first of the month following the date
eligibility is regained, unless otherwise stipulated in a collective bargaining
agreement or documented Entity policy in effect on or before May 1, 2013.
(b) The 12-month late enrollment
waiting period for dental and/or vision coverage will only apply if it was in effect
at the time coverage was initially lost.
(c) Plan changes or changes
to covered dependents may only be made if:
(A) A Qualified Status Change
occurred during the period of ineligibility, consistent with OAR 111-040-0040, and
requested within 31 days of returning to benefit-eligible status, or
(B) Benefits are being reinstated
in a new plan year from which benefits were initially lost.
(2) If reinstatement occurs
within the same plan year, medical, dental and vision coverage will be reinstated
at the same level as was in effect immediately prior to the loss of eligibility.
(i.e., dental incentive levels, amounts applied toward deductibles, annual maximum
out-of-pockets and benefit maximums, and benefits beyond routine and basic dental
and vision), if applicable.
(3) The Uniformed Services
Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). USERRA gives an employee and previously
covered dependents the right to reinstate coverage upon returning to employment
with the Entity in a benefit eligible position with no waiting period.

Removing an Ineligible Individual
from Benefit Plans
(1) An active employee who enrolls them
self and/or an eligible person is responsible for removing spouses, domestic partners
and children from their OEBB-sponsored benefit plans by submitting completed, applicable
forms to their Entity benefits administrator within 31 calendar days after the date
the individual becomes ineligible. Coverage ends on the date identified under OAR
111-040-0005.
(2) An Entity is responsible
for removing ineligible individuals from the OEBB benefits management system. The
Entity must complete such removal within 14 calendar days after:
(a) An event resulting in
loss of the employee’s eligibility, or
(b) The receipt of notification
of an event resulting in loss of eligibility of the employee’s spouse, domestic
partner or child.
(3) If coverage of an employee’s
spouse, domestic partner or child is terminated retroactively then:
(a) The employee may be responsible
for claims previously paid by the benefit plans to the providers during the period
of ineligibility at the carrier’s discretion; and
(b) Premium adjustments will
be made retroactively based on the coverage end date.
(4) OEBB shall conduct eligibility
verifications and reviews to monitor compliance with OEBB administrative rules governing
eligibility and enrollment. Eligibility reviews may occur at different times throughout
the plan year. The member is responsible to submit documentation upon request. In
the event the member does not provide the required documentation in a timely manner
to sufficiently prove the dependent meets eligibility requirements, or the documentation
provided is insufficient, the dependent’s coverage will be terminated. Retroactive
terminations may occur if the documentation provided shows the dependent was not
eligible for coverage and the member misrepresented the dependent as being an eligible
dependent as defined by OAR 111-080-0045.

Qualified
Status Changes (QSCs)
(1) An Eligible Employee experiencing
a change in family or work status as noted below after an annual open enrollment,
or anytime during the plan year, has 31 calendar days beginning on the date of the
event to make allowable changes. If the event is gaining a child, as defined by
111-040-0040(4)(c), or results in a loss of eligibility, the Eligible Employee has
60 calendar days after the event to make allowable changes.
(2) An Eligible Employee
can only make changes that are consistent with the event for them self and/or dependents.
(3) An Eligible Employee
must report the Qualified Status Change (QSC) to the employee’s Entity within
the specified timeframe. Failure to report a QSC that will result in removal of
a spouse, domestic partner, or child within the timeframe stated in 111-040-0040(1)
may be considered intentional misrepresentation, and OEBB may rescind the individual’s
coverage back to the last day of the month in which the individual lost eligibility.
Please refer to the QSC matrix for details on what changes can occur with each event.
(4) Qualified Status Changes
which allow an employee to make changes to his or her coverage are:
(a) Gaining a spouse by marriage
or domestic partner by meeting domestic partner eligibility;
(b) Loss of spouse or domestic
partner by divorce, annulment, death or termination of domestic partnership,
(c) Gaining a child by birth,
placement for/or adoption, or Domestic Partner’s children (by affidavit of
domestic partnership),
(d) Change in employee group
which affects plan option availability;
(e) Spouse, domestic partner
or child starts new employment or other change in employment status which affects
eligibility for benefits;
(f) Spouse, domestic partner’s
or child’s employment ends or other change in employment status resulting
in a loss of eligibility for benefits under their employer’s plan;
(g) Event by which a child
satisfies eligibility requirements under OEBB plans;
(h) Event by which a child
ceases to satisfy eligibility requirements under OEBB plans;
(i) Changes in the residence
of the active eligible employee, spouse, domestic partner, or child (i.e., moving
out of the service area of an HMO or limited network service area plan);
(j) Significant changes in
cost of the Eligible Employee’s or Early Retiree’s current plan and
tier level that result in a negative impact of 10 percent or more to:
(A) The amount an active
Eligible Employee or Early Retiree must contribute toward benefits.
(B) The amount a spouse or
domestic partner must contribute toward his or her group health insurance plan cost.
(k) Different Open Enrollment/Plan
Year under a spouse/domestic partner’s employer plan.
(l) Related laws or court
orders. For example: Qualified Medical Child Support Order (QMSCO), Entitlement
to Medicare or Medicaid, HIPAA, or Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
Changes are determined by the applicable law or court order.
(5) Changes in coverage,
or contribution amounts that result in a reduced amount that an employee or eligible
dependent must contribute toward benefits, do not constitute a Qualified Status
Change.
(6) The following applies
to the Long Term Care benefit plans only:
(a) Cancel the plan at any
time without a QSC event.
(b) Plan additions or changes
require a QSC event as defined 111-040-0040(2). The addition of a plan or change
in plans with a QSC is subject to a medical evidence review by the LTC carrier.
