New Dependents. A written application for enrollment of a newly dependent person, other than a newborn or adopted child, must be made to the Group within 31 days after the dependency occurs. A written application for enrollment of a newborn child must be made to the Group within 60 days following the date of birth when there is a change in the monthly premium payment as a result of the additional Dependent. A written application for enrollment of an adoptive child must be made to the Group within 60 days from the day the child is placed with the Subscriber for the purpose of adoption or the Subscriber assumes total or partial financial support of the child if there is a change in the monthly premium payment as a result of the additional Dependent. When there is no change in the monthly premium payment, it is strongly advised that the Subscriber enroll the newborn or newly adoptive child as a Dependent with the Group to avoid delays in the payment of claims.
New Dependents. New Dependents may be added by paying the applicable Premium and completing enrollment for:
New Dependents. An Enrolled Employee who gains a new Dependent through marriage, establishment of a domestic partnership, birth, adoption, placement for adoption, assumption of a parent-child relationship, or through a court order shall have 30 days from the date of such event to enroll the new Dependent. If so enrolled, coverage for a new Spouse or Domestic Partner will be effective not later than the first day of the first calendar month beginning after the date the request for enrollment is received. Coverage for a new Child Dependent will be effective as of 12:01 a.m. on the date of birth, adoption, placement for adoption, assumption of a parent-child relationship or date of guardianship as ordered by a court, unless the employee requests the coverage to be effective on the first day of the month following the date of such event.
New Dependents. Spouse An eligible spouse may be added to coverage at the time of initial enrollment of the Employee, at each open enrollment period of GROUP or following a proven triggering event such as the involuntary loss of prior coverage or other events as outlined below in subsection “3.a.” below. A spouse may also be added at other times during the coverage year provided he or she submits a stamped copy of the Marriage Certificate within 45 days of its issuance, allowing the Employer sufficient time to submit the request to CaliforniaChoice Benefit Administrators within 60 days of the issuance. If the request is made at a time other than initial or open enrollment, and CaliforniaChoice Benefit Administrators receives all required documentation before the 16th day of the month of marriage, Premium is charged for the full month and coverage is effective as of date of marriage; if required documentation is received on or after the 16th day of the month of marriage, the spouse will be enrolled effective as of 1st of the month following the date of receipt. The Enrollee must agree to notify CaliforniaChoice Benefit Administrators immediately upon termination of the marriage.
New Dependents. Stepchild A child who comes to be the stepchild of an Enrollee is eligible to be a new Dependent at other than the Employer’s annual open enrollment provided the appropriate request forms are received by CaliforniaChoice Benefit Administrators within 60 days following the date of the Enrollee's marriage to or establishment of a registered domestic partnership with the parent or legal guardian of the stepchild (actual adoption by the step- parent Enrollee is not required, although a copy of the Marriage Certificate or a State-stamped copy of the Certificate of Registered Domestic Partnership with the parent of the new stepchild may be required). If the marriage or creation of the domestic partnership occurs before the 16th day of the month, Premium is charged for the full month and coverage effective as of date of marriage or creation of the domestic partnership. If the marriage or creation of the domestic partnership occurs on or after the 16th day of the month, the stepchild will be enrolled effective as of the 1st of the month following date of receipt.
New Dependents. New or adopted children, to the extent allowed by the insuring companies, may be added to the employee's medical insurance provided they are added within sixty (60) days after birth or adoption.
New Dependents. If an eligible employee gains a new spouse or other new eligible dependent(s) due to marriage, adoption, placement for adoption, or birth, the employee and the spouse and/or the new dependent(s) may enroll for coverage in this vision care plan. If the new dependent is gained by birth, adoption, or placement for adoption, enrollment in this vision care plan will be retroactive to the date of birth or the date of adoption or the date of placement for adoption. But, the time requirement described below must be met. Special Enrollment Time Requirement To exercise your special enrollment rights, you must notify your plan sponsor no later than 30 days after the date when any one of the following events occur: the date you lose your other coverage; the date the subscriber gains a new dependent; the date the subscriber receives notice that a dependent child who was not previously eligible is newly eligible for coverage as a result of changes to dependent eligibility; or the date you receive notice that you are newly eligible for coverage as a result of the elimination of a lifetime maximum. For example, if your coverage under another health plan is terminated, you must notify your plan sponsor and request enrollment within 30 days after your other health care coverage ends. Upon request, the plan sponsor will send you any special forms you may need. If you do not request enrollment within 30 days, you will have to wait until the group’s next open enrollment period to enroll for group coverage. You also have special enrollment rights related to termination of coverage under a state Children’s Health Insurance Program plan or a Medicaid plan or eligibility for assistance under a Medicaid plan or a state Children’s Health Insurance Program plan. When this situation applies, you must notify your plan sponsor to request group coverage in this vision care plan no later than 60 days after the coverage terminates or the employee or eligible dependent is determined to be eligible for assistance.
