PEBB ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES: Notification of Loss of Other Insurance Coverage

When a WSU employee wishes to add an eligible family member to their insurance coverage due to the fact that person(s) has lost their own insurance coverage, they need to do so as soon as possible.

The effective date of coverage for the added individual will be the first of the month following the date the form is received, or the date the other coverage ends, whichever is later. Technically, employees have a 60 day period after the loss of other coverage to enroll the individual(s) on their health plan with WSU. However, waiting to add a dependent could result in a gap in coverage.

It is important to be proactive if you are aware of a potential loss of coverage situation. Contact HRS as soon as possible. You will need to complete and return an enrollment form, and provide proof of loss of other coverage from the other insurance plan and/or employer. (Exception, WSU employees losing coverage and who are eligible to be picked up on another WSU employee’s coverage, will not need to provide the proof of loss of coverage.)

If you have questions, please send an email to hrs@wsu.edu.
