I CERTIFY THAT I have been given an opportunity to apply for the group benefit plan offered by the company and after careful consideration have decided to
Are you declining due to coverage in another plan?
Yes
No
If YES, is this other coverage COBRA?
Yes
No
Other (Please Explain):
Important Notice: If you refuse coverage for yourself, you automatically refuse coverage for any dependents. If you are declining enrollment for yourself or your dependents (including your spouse) because of other health insurance coverage, you may in the future be able to enroll yourself or your dependents in this plan, provided that you request enrollment within 30 days after your other coverage ends. Also, you must indicate the reason for declining enrollment to later be eligible under the special enrollment rules. In addition, if you have a new dependent as the result of marriage, birth, adoption or placement for adoption, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents, provided that you request enrollment within 30 days after the marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption.
The pre-existing condition limitation is stated in the summary plan description. You and/or your dependents have the right to demonstrate creditable coverage by requesting a certificate of coverage from you prior plan or insurer.
