Common use of Changes in Coverage Clause in Contracts

Changes in Coverage. If an employee is absent from work because of disability due to illness or injury on the date of an increase in coverage, such increase will not become effective until the date the employee returns to active full-time work for 1 full day. Any increase in coverage for dependents (other than a new-born child who becomes covered within 31 days of becoming eligible) who are confined in a hospital because of illness or injury on the date of such increase in coverage will not become effective until such time that the dependent is no longer confined.
