Anytime an employee who is on the state insurance plan changes entities, he or she is considered a new hire at the new place of employment even if there is no break in coverage/employment. The employee may change coverages, add or remove dependents, cancel coverage or maintain their current coverage by accessing Employee Self Service or submitting an enrollment form within 30 days of their eligibility date with the new agency.
If a current state, higher education, local government or local education employee changes jobs and becomes an employee of another entity (state employee to local government employee, etc.), how does that affect their insurance coverage?
