To decline, carefully review the information in this section and check the box:
I ELECT TO ENROLL in (or MAKE CHANGES TO) a health benefits plan as indicated above and agree to authorize deductions from (1) my salary to cover my share
of the cost of enrollment as it is now or as it may be in the future (2) my retirement allowance to continue health benefits coverage into retirement. I CERTIFY that the
information provided herein is accurate and listed dependents are eligible family members as defined in the Public Employees' Medical and Hospital Care Act.
I VOLUNTARILY enroll into the selected Health Plan. I AGREE to read the associated Evidence of Coverage (EOC) and any subsequent EOCs in the following years
to understand the benefits of the plan. The Subscriber and all eligible dependents agree to all the terms and conditions of the EOC and the Health Plan.
I UNDERSTAND that enrolling in certain health plans requires binding arbitration and that any dispute as to medical malpractice, that is as to whether any medical
services rendered under this contract were unnecessary or unauthorized or were improperly, negligently, or incompetently rendered, will be determined by submission
to arbitration as provided by California Law and not by a lawsuit or resort to court process except as California law provides for judicial review of arbitration
proceedings. The parties to this agreement, by entering into it, are giving up their constitutional right to have any such dispute decided in a court of law before a jury
and instead are accepting the use of arbitration.
I DECLINE ENROLLMENT into the CalPERS Health Program for myself and my dependents.
I UNDERSTAND that if I choose to enroll at a later date, I must wait at least 90 days after I request enrollment or until the next Open Enrollment (OE) period
before enrolling in the CalPERS Health Program. Furthermore, if I or my dependents involuntarily lose other health insurance coverage, I may request
enrollment into the Program within 60 days from the date of lost coverage. If I do not request enrollment within 60 days, I must wait at least 90 days or until
the next OE period before I can enroll. The effective date of coverage will be the first of the month following the 90 day waiting period or the OE effective
date.

Section 7(b) of the Privacy Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-579) requires that any federal, State, or local governmental agency requesting an individual to
disclose a Social Security account number to inform the individual whether that disclosure is mandatory or voluntary, by which statutory or other
authority such number is solicited, and what uses will be made of it. Section 111 of Public Law 101-173 requires group health plans to collect and
provide member Social Security numbers for the coordination of federal and State benefits. Furthermore, the CalPERS health program requires each
enrollee's Social Security number for identification purposes and to verify eligibility for benefits.
The CalPERS health program uses Social Security numbers for the following purposes:
1. Enrollee identification for eligibility processing and eligibility verification
2. Payroll deduction and State contribution for State employees.
3. Billing of contracting agencies for employee and employer contributions.
4. Reports to CalPERS and other state agencies.
5. Coordination of benefits among health plans.
6. Resolution of member complaints, grievances and appeals with health plans.
IMPORTANT: It is your responsibility to notify your personnel office when there are any changes in your family situation. Changes include domestic
partnership termination, establishment of a parent-child relationship, acquisition of a dependent child, change of address, marriage, divorce, legal
separation, and death. Failure to notify your personnel office may result in adverse consequences.
