Notice of Relaxed Rules for the Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program Open Season

摘要

The Office of Personnel Management is relaxing our previous rule for employees' Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program coverage to become effective. Previously, employees with a December 1, 2002, or January 1, 2003 coverage effective date would have to be actively at work on November 29, 2002 or December 31, 2002, respectively, for coverage to become effective. Considering heavy leave usage on those dates, coverage will not be delayed for employees on approved leave status on those dates, as long as they return to being actively at work during the month when their coverage becomes effective and they pay their premiums within the established deadlines.
