Reliance Rewards Dependent Verification
When Coverage Ends
COVERAGE ENDS ON THE DATE OF YOUR EMPLOYMENT TERMINATION Coverage for you and your dependents ends on the day your employment terminates. This includes coverage under medical, dental, vision, life, accidental death and dismemberment, disability, and participation in the FSA. Deferrals into your HSA will also end. Continuation coverage is available for medical, dental, vision, and, in some instances, FSA (restrictions apply) through COBRA. CONTINUED ELIGIBILITY IN RELIANCE REWARDS DUE TO TERMINATION, LAYOFF, OR REDUCTION IN HOURS Reliance Rewards coverage ends on the last day you are an active employee. You are eligible to continue your coverage under COBRA if you lose your benefits due to a reduction in your scheduled work hours or if you terminate for any reason other than gross misconduct. Below are the 2024 monthly COBRA rates for your reference.
To enroll your eligible dependents, you must submit proof of eligibility for each dependent. The table below gives some examples of acceptable documentation for dependent eligibility verification. Failure to verify will result in termination of benefits retroactive to your dependent’s initial enrollment date.
