What is a late applicant?
ASEBP allows 31 days following significant life events for you to enroll in benefits or to change your enrollment status. Examples of these events are getting married, having a baby, or losing benefit coverage through your spouse. If you don’t enroll within this 31-day period, you are considered a late applicant and special provisions apply to you: • you must provide ASEBP with medical evidence of good health and be approved as a late applicant before Extended Disability Benefits, Life/AD&D, or Extended Health Care coverage becomes effective • under Dental Care and Vision Care, late applicants have restricted coverage for a period of time Please Note: There are different late application rules for Early Retirees and Trustees. Check your ASEBP Benefit Information Handbook or contact ASEBP for details.
