Hawaii Employer-Union Health Benefits Trust Fund

If you are declining enrollment for yourself or your dependents (including your spouse) because of other health insurance or group health plan coverage, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents in this plan if you or your dependents lose eligibility for that other coverage (or if the employer stops contributing toward your or your dependents’ other coverage). However, you must request enrollment within 45 days or any longer period that applies under the plan after your or your dependents’ other coverage ends (or after the employer stops contributing toward the other coverage).

In addition, if you have a new dependent as a result of marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents. However, you must request enrollment within 45 days after the marriage, adoption, or placement for adoption. You must request enrollment within 180 days after a birth.

You and/or your Dependents may also enroll in this Plan if you or your Dependents have coverage through Medicaid or a State Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) and you or your Dependents lose eligibility for that coverage or become eligible for a premium assistance program through Medicaid or CHIP. However, you must request enrollment within 60 days after the Medicaid or CHIP coverage ends or is determined to be eligible for such assistance.
