eligible (such as a spouse’s plan), even if that plan generally does not accept late enrollees. You
can learn more about many of these options at www.healthcare.gov.
Others covered by your insurance also have the right to continue coverage if they are no longer
eligible for certain reasons. If you and your spouse divorce or legally separate, or if you pass
away while in our employ, your spouse may continue coverage under our group health plan. In
addition, if your children lose their dependent status, they may continue their health care. In
any of these situations, your family member is entitled to up to 36 months of continued health
care. They must pay the monthly cost of the coverage for continuation of coverage.
You will receive an initial notice of your right to continued health insurance coverage when you
first enroll in one of the plans under the Company’s group plan. You will receive an additional
notice when your hours are reduced, you resign or you are terminated. This second notice will
tell you how to choose continuation coverage, what your obligations will be, and how much the
insurance will cost. You must notify us if any of your family members becomes eligible for
continued coverage due to divorce, separation or reaching the age of majority.
Employees will be so notified of any, and all options available upon notification of a qualifying
event.

requests for paid leave will no longer be granted.
