Who should be notified upon the death of an enrollee?
Dependent survivors should forward a copy of the death certificate to the Comptroller’s Office, Health Benefits Unit as soon as possible. In order to ensure eligible dependents’ ability to elect survivor benefits, the County must receive notice within 90 days of the enrollee’s death. Ensuring the County Receives Your Health Insurance Payments Q: I am paying for health insurance after leaving the County (for example if you are a retiree who contributes to health coverage, or are continuing coverage while on leave without pay, or are a vestee continuing coverage or are a former employee’s survivor). What is the best way to make sure that my payments for health insurance are received and my coverage does not lapse? A: The best way to make sure we receive your payments is through automatic deductions from your bank account.
