I acknowledge that the coverage available to me has been explained to me by my employer and I know that I have every right to enroll in this coverage and I have decided not to enroll
myself and/or my dependent(s), if any. I now decline to enroll myself, my spouse/domestic partner, and/or my child dependent(s) in my employer’s group health plan. I have made this
decision voluntarily, and no one has tried to inuence me or put any pressure on me to decline coverage.
If I am declining enrollment for myself or my dependents because of other health coverage or because the employer stops contributing toward this coverage, I acknowledge that I may
be able to enroll myself and my dependents in this plan if I request enrollment within 60 days after my or my dependents’ other coverage ends or after the employer stops contributing
toward the other coverage.
In addition, if I acquire a new dependent as the result of marriage/domestic partnership, birth, adoption or placement for adoption, I acknowledge that I, and my dependents, may request
enrollment in my employer’s health plan by applying for that coverage within 60 days of the marriage/domestic partnership, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption. I also acknowledge
that if I, or my dependents, become eligible for the Healthy Families or the Medi-Cal Premium Assistance programs, I or my dependents may request enrollment in my employer’s health plan
by applying for coverage within 60 days of the notice of eligibility for these premium assistance programs.
If I have indicated above that the reason for declining coverage for myself or my dependent(s) is coverage under another employer health benet plan, I acknowledge that if I or my
dependent(s) involuntarily lose coverage under the other employer health benet plan, I must request enrollment for myself and/or my dependent(s) in my employer health benet plan
within 60 days. Otherwise, I understand I may not enroll myself and/or my dependents in my employer’s health plan until the earlier of the end of my employer’s next open enrollment
period or 12 months.
