Section 182-12-136. May employees on approved educational leave waive continuation coverage?

In order to avoid duplication of group health plan coverage, the following shall apply to employees during any period of approved educational leave. Employees eligible for continuation coverage provided in WAC 182-12-133 who obtain other employer-based group medical or dental insurance, or both, may waive continuation of such coverage for each full calendar month in which they maintain coverage under the other insurance. These employees have the right to reenroll in a public employees benefits board (PEBB) health plan effective the first day of the month after the date the other employer-based group medical or dental insurance ends, provided evidence of such other coverage is provided to the PEBB program upon application for reenrollment.
