DURATION OF COVERAGE
In general, once you meet the minimum covered earnings requirements for the Individual Health Plan, you will be covered for four consecutive calendar quarters (unless you are covered as a Staff Performer or Related Employee) provided you continue to pay the required premium on a timely basis.
Once you meet the regular minimum covered earnings requirements for the Family Health Plan, you and those persons who continue to qualify as your dependents will be covered for four consecutive calendar quarters (unless you are covered as a Staff Performer or Related Employee) provided you continue to pay the required premium on a timely basis.
You can continue coverage beyond your initial coverage period without interruption by meeting the covered earnings requirements on the same schedule as that for your initial coverage. For example, if you met the covered earnings requirements by September 30th, for continuous coverage you must meet them again in the four consecutive calendar quarters ending the next September 30th.
Generally, if you are covered as a Staff Performer or Related Employee, your coverage continues as long as you remain in that employment and the terms of your employment continue to meet the initial eligibility rules. In addition, if you have been continuously covered (not including COBRA coverage) for at least five years, your actual covered earnings may continue to qualify you for coverage under the general eligibility rules.
If you are a covered roster artist, as long as your employer continues to pay the annual lump sum contribution, and you continue to pay the required participant premium, you will continue to be covered for the period that you are a covered roster artist.
