CHANGING OR TERMINATING YOUR ACCOUNT As permitted by law, the Credit Union may change the terms of this Agreement and any attached Disclosure from time to time. Notice of any change will be given in accordance with applicable law. If permitted by law and specified in the notice to you, the change will apply to your existing account balance as well as to future transactions. Either you or the Credit Union may terminate this Agreement at any time, but termination by you or the Credit Union will not affect your obligation to pay the account balance plus any finance and other charges you owe under this Agreement. Your obligation to pay the account balance plus any finance and other charges you owe under this agreement are subject to all applicable laws and regulations regarding repayment requirements. You are also responsible for all transactions made to your account after termination, unless the transactions were unauthorized. The card or cards you receive remain the property of the Credit Union and you must recover and surrender to the Credit Union all cards upon request or upon termination of this Agreement whether by you or the Credit Union. If this is a joint account, the paragraph on JOINT ACCOUNTS of this Agreement also applies to termination of the account.
When Your Coverage Begins Your coverage will begin on the first day of the month following your eligibility date as long as we receive required enrollment information within the first thirty (30) days following your eligibility date and the premium is paid. If you or your dependents fail to enroll at this time, you cannot enroll in the plan unless you do so through an Open Enrollment Period or a Special Enrollment Period.

How We Will Calculate Your Balance We use a method called “average daily balance (including new purchases).” See your account agreement for more details.
Happen After We Receive Your Letter When we receive your letter, we must do two things:
When Your Coverage Ends Coverage under this plan is guaranteed renewable. It can only be canceled by us for the following reasons: • if you leave your place of employment; • if you decide to discontinue coverage. Inform your employer prior to the requested date of cancellation and your employer will notify us. If we do not receive your notice prior to the requested date of cancellation, you or your employer may be responsible for paying another month’s premium; • if the required premium is not paid within one month of the due date. We will mail you a notice of discontinuance along with information about enrolling in an individual healthcare plan; • if you or a covered dependent no longer qualifies as an eligible person; • if we no longer offer this type of coverage; • if your employer contracts with another insurer or entity to provide or administer benefits for the covered healthcare services provided by this agreement; • if fraud is determined by us. See Rescission of Coverage section below for additional details; If your healthcare coverage is terminated for one of the reasons listed above, we will send you a termination notice thirty (30) days before the termination date. The notice will indicate the reason why your healthcare coverage has ended. When your coverage ends, you may apply for individual healthcare coverage directly from BCBSRI or through HSRI. You must meet the eligibility requirements and we must receive required enrollment information within sixty (60) days from the date your group coverage ended along with required premium. If you do not reside in Rhode Island, you are not eligible to enroll in an individual plan from BCBSRI or HSRI. You may be able to obtain coverage through an insurance company in the state in which you reside. Rescission of Coverage Rescission is a cancellation or discontinuance of coverage that has a retroactive effect. A cancellation is not a rescission if it: • only has a prospective effect (as described above); or • is due to non-payment of premiums, which can have a retroactive cancellation effect. We may rescind your coverage if you or your dependents commit fraud. Fraud includes, but is not limited to, intentional misuse of your identification card (ID card) or intentional misrepresentation of a material fact. Any benefit paid in the past will be voided. You will be responsible to reimburse us for all costs and claims paid by us. We must provide you a written notice of a rescission at least thirty (30) days in advance. Except for non-payment, we will not contest this policy after it has been in force for a period of two (2) years from the later of the effective date of this agreement or the latest reinstatement date.
Canceling Dependent Coverage During Open Enrollment In addition to the above situations, dependent health or dependent dental coverage may also be cancelled for any reason during the open enrollment period that applies to each type of plan (as long as allowed under the applicable provisions, regulations and rules of the federal and state law in effect at the beginning of the plan year).
Secure Your Tax Records from Identity Theft Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal information such as your name, SSN, or other identifying information, without your permission, to commit fraud or other crimes. An identity thief may use your SSN to get a job or may file a tax return using your SSN to receive a refund. To reduce your risk: • Protect your SSN, • Ensure your employer is protecting your SSN, and • Be careful when choosing a tax preparer. If your tax records are affected by identity theft and you receive a notice from the IRS, respond right away to the name and phone number printed on the IRS notice or letter. If your tax records are not currently affected by identity theft but you think you are at risk due to a lost or stolen purse or wallet, questionable credit card activity or credit report, contact the IRS Identity Theft Hotline at 1-800-908-4490 or submit Form 14039. For more information, see Publication 4535, Identity Theft Prevention and Victim Assistance. Victims of identity theft who are experiencing economic harm or a system problem, or are seeking help in resolving tax problems that have not been resolved through normal channels, may be eligible for Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) assistance. You can reach TAS by calling the TAS toll-free case intake line at 1-877-777-4778 or TTY/TDD 1-800-829-4059. Protect yourself from suspicious emails or phishing schemes. Phishing is the creation and use of email and websites designed to mimic legitimate business emails and websites. The most common act is sending an email to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft. The IRS does not initiate contacts with taxpayers via emails. Also, the IRS does not request personal detailed information through email or ask taxpayers for the PIN numbers, passwords, or similar secret access information for their credit card, bank, or other financial accounts. If you receive an unsolicited email claiming to be from the IRS, forward this message to xxxxxxxx@xxx.xxx. You may also report misuse of the IRS name, logo, or other IRS property to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) at 1-800-366-4484. You can forward suspicious emails to the Federal Trade Commission at: xxxx@xxx.xxx or contact them at xxx.xxx.xxx/xxxxxxx or 1-877-IDTHEFT (1-877-438-4338).
