You may waive medical coverage for you and your eligible dependents within 31 days of the day you begin work, during annual enrollment or when you have a change in status or another event that allows you to change your coverage election midyear. If you work in Hawaii and choose to waive medical coverage, you must provide proof that you and/or your dependents have medical coverage from another group health care plan or individual medical insurance policy. If you live in Massachusetts and waive medical coverage, you must complete a “waive coverage” form, available on BenefitsWeb. If you waive coverage, you won’t have any before-tax contributions for medical coverage automatically deducted from your paycheck.
