Actively at Work Requirement
If you are an employee or a member of the
uniformed services for purposes of the Federal Program and you
submit an abbreviated underwriting application which we approve for coverage,
you must be actively at work
on the original effective date shown on your Schedule of Benefits that we send
you. If your original effective
date falls on a weekend or holiday, you must be actively at work on the last
work-day before your original
effective date.
Actively at work means:
for an Employee, that you meet all of the following conditions:
you are reporting for work at your
usual place of employment or other location to which government
business requires you to travel; and
you are able to perform all the
usual and customary duties of your employment on your regular
work-schedule; and
you are not absent from work due
to sickness, injury, annual leave, sick leave or any other leave
(for employees working an alternative work schedule, an “AWS” day counts
as a day you are
Actively at Work);
for a member of the uniformed
services, that you are on active duty and are physically able to perform
the duties of your position.
You must notify us if you are not actively
at work as stated above. In this case, your coverage will not go into
effect until the first day of the month on or after the date you return to being
actively at work. That date will then
be your new effective date provided that you are actively at work on that date.
If your new effective date falls on a
weekend or holiday, you must be actively at work on the last work-day before
your new effective date.
You must notify us of the date you return to active work and we will send you a new Schedule of Benefits. You must notify us if you are not actively at work on your new effective date. In this case, your coverage will not go into effect until you are actively at work as stated above.
Your effective date will not change under
this actively at work requirement if you were involuntarily separated
(for reasons other than your gross misconduct) after your application date but
before your effective date.
