I acknowledge that the available coverages have been explained to me by my employer, and I know that I
have every right to apply for coverage. I have been given the chance to apply for this coverage and I have
decided not to enroll myself and/or my dependent(s), if any, and understand that evidence of insurability may
be required should I choose to apply for coverage at a later date. I have made this decision voluntarily and
understand that I will not be eligible to enroll until next open enrollment or experience a life event.
Effective January 1, 2014, I understand that the Healthcare Reform law requires all individuals to have
qualified medical plan coverage or pay a penalty for each month for failing to have coverage. Your employer
offers a medical plan that meets the minimum essential coverage and affordability rules, therefore this plan is
a qualified plan which makes any eligible employee ineligible for a government subsidy through Covered
California and it is my responsibility to report any changes to Covered California within 30 days. By declining
my employer’s coverage, I will be assuming responsibility in obtaining qualified medical coverage or be
subject to IRS penalties for not complying with the law.
If I acquire a new dependent as the result of marriage, birth, adoption or placement for adoption, I
acknowledge that I, and any dependents I may have, may request enrollment in my employer’s group benefit
plan(s) by applying for that coverage within 30 days of the marriage, birth, adoption or placement for
adoption.
If I have indicated above that the reason for declining coverage for myself or my dependent(s) is coverage
under another employer group benefit plan(s), I acknowledge that, if I or my dependent(s) involuntarily lose
coverage under the other employer group benefit plan(s), I must request enrollment for myself and/or my
dependent(s) in my employer group benefit plan(s) within 30 days. Otherwise, I understand I may not enroll
myself and/or my dependent in my employer’s group benefit plan(s) until the earlier or the end of my
employer’s next open enrollment period or 12 months and that “late entrant” provisions may apply.
