You and your eligible dependents may elect to continue your group medical and dental insurance plans for up to 18 months by paying the monthly premium yourself (COBRA Continuation) if you meet the qualifications. Continuation periods may vary depending on the reason for your termination. BenefitHelpSolutions will mail a Continuation Election Notice to your last known home address. To elect coverage, follow the instructions on the Continuation Election Notice. Questions regarding COBRA eligibility, enrollment forms, or premiums may be directed to BenefitHelpSolutions at 1-800-822-3173. Another option available to you is to convert your group medical coverage to an individual medical plan. Application for conversation must be made directly to the insurance company within 31 days from the expiration date of your group coverage. This option is also available following completion of your continuation of group coverage. Contact your insurance company with any questions you may have.
Standard Insurance: You may continue or “port” your optional employee life and spouse life coverage at the same premium rate. This portability option is not available to employees who terminate due to total disability or retirement. Employee life must be ported in order to port the spouse life policy. You must elect this option within 31 days of the date of termination. (Indicate your desire to port the insurance by marking the appropriate box on your Campus Clearance Form.) The $5,000 basic life coverage and the dependent life coverage may not be continued under the portability options. You may contact Standard Insurance to convert any of your life insurance coverages to an individual policy without evidence of insurability. Application must be made directly to Standard Insurance within 31 days of the dage coverage is lost. Telephone 1-800-521-8780.

Employees have 31 days to notify UNUM of their request to convert the coverage. You can contact UNUM at 1-800-227-4165. The benefits and premium remain the same, but you will pay the premium directly to UNUM.
Your final check will include your last Dependent Care Account deduction if there are sufficient funds to cover the election. Expenses may be incurred up to your termination date.
