Getting Divorced

What You Need to Know…

  • The Pension Plans

  • You must notify the Health Plan within 60 days of your divorce. At this time a copy of your divorce decree must be provided to the Health Plan.
  • After a divorce, your ex-spouse no longer qualifies as an eligible dependent under your Health Plan coverage.
  • Your ex-spouse is eligible for 36 months of COBRA continuation coverage, beginning on the date of divorce.
  • To enroll in COBRA coverage, your ex-spouse must contact a participant services representative at (877) 866-2200 Ext. 401 within 60 days of the divorce decree.

  • A copy of your divorce decree must be provided to the Health Plan within 60 days from the date of divorce.
  • Change of Address Form – if you or your ex-spouse moves, it is important to update your address with the Plans.
  • Revocation of HIPAA Authorization – if you previously completed a HIPAA Authorization Form authorizing the Health Plan to speak with your spouse about your coverage and would like to revoke that authorization, you will need to provide written notification to the Health Plan.

  • If your situation requires the filing of a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO), the Plan Office can provide you or your attorney with a QDRO kit. This kit includes the Pension Plan’s QDRO procedures and model QDROs for both pension plans.

  • Beneficiary Designation Form – after a divorce you may want to change your beneficiary designation, which requires you complete a new Beneficiary Designation Form.
    • You must file a new Beneficiary Designation Form to change your beneficiary.
    • Once the Pension Plans receives your new Beneficiary Designation Form, all previously submitted beneficiary designations become invalid.
  • Change of Address Form – if you or your ex-spouse moves, it is important to update your address with the Pension Plans.
  • Revocation of Third Party Authorization – if you previously completed a Third Party Authorization Form authorizing the Pension Plans to speak with your spouse about your benefit accumulations, eligibility or any pension-related matters and would like to revoke that authorization, you will need to provide written notification to the Pension Plans.
