Following the divorce (or legal separation) of an employee, some employers allow a covered spouse or dependents to continue medical, dental, and/or vision coverage up to 36 months after it would otherwise end. This applies only if the following are true:
• The employer elected to offer continuation coverage.
• The employer continues to offer plan coverage to its employees.
• The employee was not fired for gross misconduct, as determined by the employer.
• The employee submits a Request for Continuation of Eligibility form to GuideStone within 60 days of the date Group Plans medical, dental, and/or vision coverage terminates.
If you have any questions about continued coverage after divorce (or legal separation) and you are enrolled in the Group Plans, consult your employer.
