Participating in a Dental Plan

Coverage During a Leave

Military Leave of Absence

If you are in the reserves and called up for active duty, you may continue your dental coverage at the same level as before your leave, for up to twenty-four (24) months. You will be billed for insurance coverage on a monthly basis. If you fail to pay, you may jeopardize your coverage. The time period that you are eligible for continuation of coverage under COBRA runs concurrently with this Military leave continued coverage.

If you return to work in the same or another Benefits-eligible position, your coverage will automatically continue and the cost for the dental coverage will be deducted again from your paycheck.

If you return to work in a benefits-ineligible position or if you do not return to work at the end of your leave, your dental coverage will end.

If you are on unpaid Military leave, you may also cancel your coverage when your leave starts and reinstate your coverage (at the same coverage level) when your leave ends.
