Waiving Coverage
If someone waives coverage, they can't sign up for Kaiser until our next open enrollment month (generally November of every year), unless they've lost their non-Kaiser coverage through no fault of their own.
To waive coverage, print out the waive.pdf form located in fgstaff/health_insurance; hard copies in the health insurance file and have the waive-er fill it out. Keep it on file in his/her real-world personnel file in the filing cabinet.
Termination
Continuation Option
By Oregon law, we must offer up to 6 months of continued health insurance for terminated/laid off/resigning employees. The employee would pay their own premium, copays, other fees, etc. Please see Health Insurance Continuation for instructions on how to offer this coverage.
