Guest amy03 Posted March 31, 2003 Posted March 31, 2003 We have an employer with one employee on FMLA, and one employee on disability. April 1 is their enrollment date. Are these employees able to make an election as of April 1? or do they need to wait until they are back from leave and make a new election from the day they come back to the end of the year?
Mary C Posted April 1, 2003 Posted April 1, 2003 What plan? What does the SPD say? For the most part, HIPAA did away with actively at work provisions for health care plans, but you can still require the employee to be actively at work to enroll in life or disability plans.

GBurns Posted April 5, 2003 Posted April 5, 2003 HIPAA also did away with actively at work for disability plans. I sugest that you, as most employers that I have seen do, send the material to the employees. George D.

Guest ybahti Posted May 2, 2003 Posted May 2, 2003 My understanding is that any elections made to disability or life insurance are no effective until the employee returns to work (the actively at work provision). They can make the elections but they will not take effect until they return. Where in HIPAA does it have the elimination of the Actively at Work provision for disability and life insurance?
