You are here: Retiree Eligibility And Coverage

Transferring Dependent Coverage

A retiree may transfer dependent coverage from another contract under the Plan. For example: A retiree's spouse has coverage under the Plan as an active employee, and the spouse terminates employment and is not eligible to retire. The retiree can add the spouse and any other dependents covered under the spouse's contract. The retiree must complete an Application for Coverage form within 60 days of the spouse leaving employment and pay the appropriate premiums. Any Application for Coverage form received by BCBSMS more than 60 days from the date the spouse loses coverage due to termination of employment will be returned, and coverage will not be available.
