Waiver of Enrollment
If an eligible employee would like to enroll in the ACA UNI Blue HMO plan they have 30 days from their hire date to complete and return the enrollment form to Human Resource Services or coverage will be waived.
Returning to Work
Retirees who are rehired to work for the university may become eligible for the group plan under the ACA. If the ACA UNI Blue HMO plan is elected, the retiree forfeits the ability to continue retiree health and dental coverage, and will not be allowed to enroll back into their retiree group plan once they are no longer eligible for coverage under the ACA.
Coverage End Date
Coverage will end on the last day of the month the appointment is no longer eligible or the last day of the termination month--whichever comes first.
