The Trust offers continuation coverage only after it has been notified of a qualifying event.

You or your eligible dependents are responsible for notifying the Trust Office of a loss of coverage resulting from a divorce, legal separation, termination of domestic partnership or a child losing dependent status. If you or your eligible dependents have a loss of coverage because of these events, you must notify the Trust Office in writing at the address listed above within 60 days of the date of the qualifying event. The notice must identify the individual who experienced the qualifying event, the eligible employee's name and the qualifying event which occurred. Failure to provide timely notice will result in your coverage ending as it normally would under the plan.

The District is responsible for notifying the Trust Office of any other qualifying event once you notify the District. The Board of Trustees reserves the right to determine whether coverage has in fact been lost due to a qualifying event.
