GIC Health Insurance - Cancel Coverage or Remove Dependents
GIC-eligible employees may cancel coverage under a GIC health insurance plan or remove a dependent from coverage:
- During April open enrollment for a change effective the following July 1.
- Within 60 days (and proof) of a qualifying event such as proof of coverage under another plan or a divorce decree stating that you are not required to provide coverage for your former spouse.
You can accomplish this in any of the three following ways:
- Via the MyGICLink Portal (selecting 'qualifying event' and following prompts from there), completing the enrollment process online, uploading supporting documentation.*
- By requesting a link to a "GIC Enrollment/Change Form 1" be e-mailed to you using MyGICLink docusign process (uploading supporting documentation*).
- Complete and submit a GIC Insurance Enrollment and Change Form (Form 1) with supporting documentation * at the UMass Human Resources Employee Service Center.
The GIC will determine the effective date of the change.
* supporting documentation includes proof of the date of the qualifying event, eg the date coverage under another health plan became effective.
