If You Leave Or Retire
If you terminate or retire from State employment
during the plan year, your General or Limited Purpose Health Care Spending
Account coverage stops with the end of the month
following the last full month of employment or
contribution. For example, if you terminate employment
on August 31, your last contribution to your
Health Care Spending Account would be taken from
your August 31 paycheck. Your coverage would end
September 30, because contributions deducted from
your paycheck in one month provide coverage for the
following month. If you submit a claim for expenses
incurred on or after October 1, your claim would not
be paid.
If you have contributed more to the Health Care
Spending Account than you have been reimbursed for
on the date you leave or retire, your coverage may be
extended temporarily under COBRA. Call the
Flexible Benefits Program at 404-656-2730 or
1-888-968-0490 for more information.
The Dependent Care Spending Account cannot be continued under COBRA, however, you may continue to file claims for eligible expenses if you have an available balance upon termination.
