– PS 409 (10/12)

Employees who can demonstrate and attest to having other employer-sponsored group health insurance may elect to opt out of NYSHIP’s Empire Plan or Health Maintenance Organizations. Employees who elect to opt out of NYSHIP will receive $1,000 for waiving Individual coverage or $3,000 for waiving Family coverage. This amount will be credited to bi-weekly paychecks as taxable income over the plan year. Unless newly eligible to enroll, employees must be enrolled in NYSHIP Individual or Family coverage prior to April 1st of the previous plan year to be eligible to opt out of that coverage. This enrollment cannot have been subject to late enrollment. In order to participate, employees must have other employer-sponsored group health insurance.

There are two circumstances when employees may elect to opt out of coverage; as newly eligible for the Opt-out Program, and, for currently enrolled employees, during the Annual Option Transfer Period. Only employees who experience a qualifying event will be allowed to withdraw their Opt-out election and enroll in a health insurance plan mid-year. See instructions below.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Newly eligible employees: Employees may enroll in the Opt-out Program no later than their first date of NYSHIP eligibility. Employees must sign the PS-409 Opt-out Attestation Form and complete a PS-404 Enrollment Form.

Current enrollees: Eligible enrollees may elect the Opt-out Program during the Annual Option Transfer Period for each plan year. Employees must sign the PS-409 Opt-out Attestation Form and complete a PS-404 Enrollment Form.

During mid-year: Employees who experience a Qualifying Event (QE) must notify their personnel office within thirty (30) days of the QE date in order to enroll in a health insurance plan without a waiting period. Employees must complete a PS404 Enrollment Form.

By signing the Opt-out Attestation, you elect to receive $3,000 (Family coverage waived), or $1,000 (Individual coverage waived); this amount will be credited to your bi-weekly paycheck as taxable income over the plan year.
