SL 40001.440 Coverage for Previously Terminated Group

The State may extend coverage to a coverage group previously covered and terminated prior to 1983. The modification should include a statement that the group's coverage had previously terminated, the effective date of termination, and the previously assigned 69 Employer Identification Number (69 EIN) and modification number.

 

A previously terminated coverage group is treated as if it had not previously been covered. Thus, positions which had originally been covered as part of a absolute coverage group and subsequently brought under a retirement system may now be covered only in accordance with the rules applicable to retirement system coverage groups.

 

A State may exercise whatever options are available (e.g., optional exclusions, coverage of ineligibles, definition of part-time services, retroactive coverage, etc.) without regard to what the original modification applicable to the terminated coverage group had provided.
