Termination and Rehire

Between State Agencies with MCHCP Medical Benefits
If employment is terminated and subscriber is rehired in the same month, current coverage is continuous.

If employment is terminated and subscriber is rehired in the following month, there are two options:

1. Continue coverage in the same level of coverage and plans, or
2. End current coverage and elect coverage as a new hire. Enrollment must be completed through SEBES within 31 days of the new hire date. Coverage will begin the first of the month after enrollment is completed. If MCHCP coverage is not elected, the employee may enroll during the next Open Enrollment for coverage effective the following January.
