What Will Happen If You Do Not Return to a Benefits Eligible Position?
If you do not return to a benefit eligible position in the fall, your health insurance will end September 10, 2025 at midnight.
Information about enrolling in COBRA, which allows you to continue your coverage beyond this date, will automatically be sent to your home address from the New York State Department of Civil Service, Employee Benefits Division. If you would like to enroll in COBRA, you will have 60 days after the date of notification to return the forms to the Department of Civil Service.
- Check with your department if you are not sure of your appointment status.
- Employee Benefits Division, COBRA administrator, may be reached at 1-800-833-4344.
It is important to update your address so that you may receive health benefits correspondence.
Special Deduction Considerations
If all summer monies are not collected in your final spring paychecks:
- You will have additional deductions when you return in the fall or
- You will be billed for the remaining balance by the Department of Civil Service, Employee Benefits Division
If you have a summer appointment, it is possible your summer payments may have deductions. If this happens, you will receive a credit.
Use of NYSHIP Coverage Past Eligibility
If your employment terminates, your eligiblity for coverage ends. Use of a benefit card when you are not eligible may constitute fraud. If you or a depended uses a card when you are not eligible for benefits, you will be billed for all claims paid incorrectly on your behalf or on behalf of your dependents.
Posession of a Card Does Not Guarantee Eligibility
If you believe your coverage is still active following the date it should have terminated, please contact Benefit Services immediately.
