About Your Benefits

When Coverage Ends

Unless otherwise noted, coverage under the Company’s benefit plans will end on the earliest of the following dates:

  • the date your employment terminates, with these exceptions:
  • for medical (including prescription drugs and vision care) and dental coverage, the last day of the month in which your employment terminates
  • for long-term disability coverage, the date your employment terminates for any reason, unless you are totally disabled
  • for basic life insurance coverage, the date your employment terminates for any reason other than retirement after you become eligible for an immediate pension benefit or total disability (see the "Life and Accident Coverage" section for more information)
  • the date you are no longer considered eligible because of a change in your employment status
  • the last day of the period for which your last contribution was made (if you fail to make any required contribution)

or

  • the date the plan is terminated.

Coverage for your dependents will end on the same day your coverage ends or on the day they are no longer considered eligible dependents, if earlier.

If your coverage ends, you may be eligible to extend medical (including prescription drugs and vision care) and dental coverage, as well as health care spending account participation under COBRA.  See the "Administrative Information" section for information about COBRA.

Your participation in the Savings Program may continue (with some limitations) after you stop making contributions.  See the "Savings Plan" section for more information.
