SECTION 260:50-3-19. Termination of dependent coverage

(a)   Waiting period of twelve [12] months. If coverage is discontinued for dependents, the employee cannot reapply for the discontinued coverage for any dependents again for at least twelve [12] months. Reinstated coverage shall be subject to penalty for orthodontic limitations.

(b)   Loss of other group health, dental, vision or life insurance coverage. The twelve [12] month requirement does not apply when the dependent has lost other health, group dental, vision and/or group life insurance coverage and is seeking reinstatement pursuant to Rule 260:50-3-17(8). Excepted Benefits do not qualify as other health coverage for purposes of this rule.

(c)   Dependent reaches age twenty-six [26]. Coverage will be terminated for dependents reaching age twenty-six [26] on the first [1^st] day of the month following their twenty-sixth [26^th] birthday, except disabled dependents who are incapable of self-support and who have been deemed eligible for coverage by EGID.
