Section 2 - STATE SPONSORED GROUP INSURANCE PLANS
ENROLLMENT INSTRUCTIONS AND EFFECTIVE DATES
 

During the FY 2009-2010 Open Enrollment Period (August 10 through August 28, 2009) you may newly enroll or make changes to eligible State-sponsored group insurance plans described on this website.  You may also change your current enrollments to include eligible dependents.  Information about your eligibility, and the eligibility of your family members, is in Sections 10and 11.

When you complete the enrollment process, you will be prompted to print a confirmation statement.  You must select either "Yes" or "No" and receive the "Your enrollment has been successful" message to save your changes.  Changes will not be recorded if you exit the system before receiving this message.  This will be the only confirmation statement you will receive.  If you need assistance, please contact the MI HR Service Center.

Your enrollments for FY 2009-2010 will go into effect on October 4, 2009.

Mid-Year Enrollments and Changes

If you are a newly hired eligible employee , you can enroll yourself and your eligible dependents within 31 days of your date of hire.  Your eligibility date is the first day of the biweekly pay period after you have commenced employment. Other eligibility requirements may apply to certain insurance plans.

If you wish to enroll a newly acquired dependent after your coverage becomes effective, you must notify the MI HR Service Center within 31 days of acquiring this new dependent. You will be required to complete the necessary forms and will also be required to provide proof of dependent eligibility, such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, etc.  See Section 13,Question # 2 for information on insurance effective dates. Review dependent eligibility guidelinesfor details on children ages 19 to 25, children who are adopted, or for whom there is joint custody.

If you do not enroll when newly hired, or you do not enroll your dependents at that time (or when newly acquired), you will be given other opportunities during future Open Enrollment Periods.

If you move to a new permanent residence outside of the service area of the HMO or DMO in which you are enrolled, you must transfer your enrollment to another available group insurance plan immediately.

Other mid-year changes are generally not allowed unless there has been a "family status change" as described in the Frequently Asked Questions section (13).
