Request for Extension of Benefits Beyond Termination

486 views 3 March 19, 2018 Updated on October 15, 2023 ghclienthelp

As part of a severance package, an employer may wish to offer an extension of group benefits beyond the member’s termination date. Prior approval from the Insurer is required before any extension of benefits can be offered to the member. Benefits extended beyond termination do not include Disability coverage or Emergency Travel Assistance.

The Insurer requires the following information for their review:

  • The member’s last scheduled day of work
  • Duration of the requested extension
  • Benefits to be extended
  • Copy of any existing HR policy wording that you may have for these situations

Tip!

  • Contact your GroupHEALTH Representative before offering severance that includes group benefits. Approval or decline is provided by the Insurer.
