Q: When Does Coverage Begin?
Answer: Coverage will be effective on the first of the month
following approval of your application and receipt of your first premium. Coverage is not effective on the date
of your application. The effective date for your eligible dependents will be the
same as yours (unless dependent coverage is added at a later time).
Q: When Will My Coverage End?
Answer: For you, coverage will end the first of the month after
we receive a written request to terminate your coverage (when you no longer
qualify as an eligible insured you must provide us this information in writing
for us to cancel your policy), , or if your premium payments are discontinued,
whichever comes first. Coverage on a dependent ends on the earlier of the date
that they no longer meet the definition of a dependent, or the date that your
coverage terminates (both of these situations need to be sent to our office in
writing).
Q: Who is Eligible For Coverage?
Answer: All active members of an approved association are
eligible. Dependent coverage is available to a married spouse and any unmarried
children or stepchildren, under age 19, who are living with the insured.
Full-time students going to an accredited school and under age 24, are also
eligible for coverage.
Q: Can I Cancel My Coverage
At Any Time?
Answer: Yes. You can drop coverage at any time. However
- this must be done in writing to Greater Insurance Service and the earliest
possible cancellation date will be the first of the month after your
cancellation request is received. Once a policy is cancelled, you
must wait a full 12-months to reenroll.
Q: How Do I Enroll for Coverage?
Answer: You may enroll for your benefits when you first become
eligible or during one of your association's open enrollment periods. Enrolling
for your benefits is as easy as 1,2,3.
