The deadline for making your quarterly self-pay premium payment for Welfare Fund provided health insurance is Jan 1st, April 1st, July 1st, and Oct 1st, respectively. Although you will continue to be able to make your payment after due date until the last day of the month that it is due, your coverage will be terminated in our system until such time your payment is processed
Please note that a late payment may cause an interruption to your medical and pharmacy coverages until your payment is received and processed. In other words, if your payment is not received and processed by the Fund Office by the due date, your coverage will be terminated in our system effective until such time your payment is processed. (Remember that payments received after 1/31, 4/30, 7/31 and 10/31 will be returned and you will no longer be eligible for coverage for the coverage period.
If your payment is received late but on or before the last day of the month that the payment is due, your coverage will be retroactively reinstated. Please note that in the meantime, your prescriptions will be interrupted, and medical providers will be unable to verify that you have current coverage.
If your coverage is terminated for not paying your self-pay premium on time, you will not be able to enroll for coverage until the next open enrollment, assuming that you are eligible at that time.
