What if the non-custodial parent is not yet eligible to enroll because he or she has not satisfied the plans generally applicable waiting period?
For short waiting periods (90 days or less remaining at the time of the plan administrator’s receipt of Part B), the plan administrator waits until the expiration of the necessary time to enroll the child and notifies the employer of the need, if any, to withhold from the employee’s wages to provide such coverage. For long waiting periods (greater than 90 days remaining at the time of the plan administrator’s receipt of Part B, or the period is measured by other means, such as hours worked), the plan administrator should inform the employer of the waiting period. The employer sends Part A to the department and notifies the plan administrator when the employee becomes eligible.
