National Medical Support Notice

Period of Coverage

The alternate recipients (children) shall be treated as dependents under the terms of the plan. Coverage of an alternate recipient as a dependent will end when similarly situated dependents are no longer eligible for coverage under the terms of the plan. However, the continuation coverage provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) or other applicable law may entitle the alternate recipient to continue coverage under the plan. Once a child is enrolled in the plan as directed above, the alternate recipient may not be disenrolled unless:

1. The plan administrator is provided satisfactory written evidence that either:
   
   a. The court or administrative child support order referred to above is no longer in effect, or
   
   b. The alternate recipient (child) is or will be enrolled in comparable coverage which will take effect no later than the effective date of disenrollment from the plan;
   
   
2. The employer eliminates family health coverage for all of its employees; or
   
   
3. Any available continuation coverage is not elected, or the period of such coverage expires.
