mark the "Cancel/Waive" box. If no selection is made and you currently have coverage, EUTF will assume no changes are being made.

may children be enrolled on more than one retiree/active employee plan (dual enrollment). In addition, if you and your spouse/partner are both
retirees/active employees, the employer’s contribution cannot exceed a family plan contribution in accordance with Chapter 87A-33-36, Hawaii
Revised Statutes.
For State Employees Only: Premium Conversion Plan (PCP) is a voluntary benefit plan, administered by the Department of Human Resources
