If you are an eligible employee, you will be able to enroll in a dental plan after one year of continuous state service. Prior to the end of your first year of service, you will receive notification that you soon will become eligible for dental coverage.
You must complete a Dental Enrollment and Change Form, available online and from your payroll/personnel officer. Your dental coverage will be effective the first day of your 13th month of state service, as long as you have filled out an enrollment form at least 31 days before your anniversary date. You may enroll up to 31 days after your anniversary date, but your effective date of benefits may be delayed.
If you do not enroll within 31 days of your anniversary date, you must wait until the annual open enrollment period to obtain dental care coverage. |
