The State Agency Health Insurance Standards, Guidelines and Administration Employer Manual (ET-1118) has been revised. The revision date of each chapter is indicated next to the title of each chapter. Please disregard any previous versions of this manual. Changes are summarized below.
- Section 301A Employee, Annuitant and Continuant Eligibility for Health Insurance: Clarifies current health insurance eligibility language in 3 and 4 for members or officers of the legislature and employees of Beyond Vision. Eliminates references to income continuation insurance.
- Section 503A Changing Health Plans: Items 4 and 5 were added to document current practice regarding the life events when a person gains or loses a significant share of employer contribution. This language aligns with the online Life Event Guide.
- Section 506C Adding Dependent when Dependent has Involuntary Loss of Other Coverage…: Clarifies current practice that if an eligible dependent loses coverage as a stepchild under a divorced parent’s other coverage, they may be enrolled in this program as an eligible dependent.
