– Deductions for Colonial Insurance products will begin January 2023.
– If signing up for PEBA coverage, please have your marriage license, or page one of your most recent joint federal tax return to add spouse to coverage, and a copy of the long birth certificate to add children to coverage. If signing up for any Colonial coverage on your spouse and/or children, please have their dates of birth and social security numbers available when speaking with the Benefits Representative.
– Elections made during this enrollment period CANNOT BE CHANGED AFTER THE ENROLLMENT PERIOD unless there is a family status change as defined by the Internal Revenue Code. Examples of a family status change are: marriage, divorce, death of a spouse or child, birth or adoption of a child, termination or commencement of a spouse’s employment, or the transition of spouse’s employment from full-time to part-time, or vice-versa.
– Once a family status change has occurred, an employee has 31 days to notify the HR Generalist for status changes for PEBA, or the Pierce Group Benefits Service Center for status changes for Colonial products.
– • The Colonial Cancer plan and the Health Screening Rider on the Colonial Accident and Colonial Medical Bridge plan have a 30-day waiting period for new enrollees. Coverage, therefore, will not begin until January 31, 2023.
– Additionally, some policies may include a pre-existing condition clause. Please read your policy carefully for full details.
