Re:	        Graduating Students and Loss of Dependent Status 
Continuation of Health Coverage-REMINDER


Under the City Health Plans, coverage for an unmarried, dependent, full 
time student terminates when the student graduates, ceases to be a full 
time student or on December 31st of the year of the student’s 23rd 
birthday, whichever is earlier. 

If your dependent falls under one of the above categories, you can purchase 
continuation of health insurance (COBRA) at full cost plus 2% 
administrative costs. Please notify us as soon as possible in writing to 
Box D-0202 or you may e-mail [log in to unmask] Please 
indicate employee name, social security number, health plan, reason, date 
of loss of coverage and the name and social security number of the student. 
A form is available at 
http://www.baruch.cuny.edu/hr/documents/cobra_request_dep_status.pdf
A COBRA package will be prepared and sent certified mail to your dependent. 

If you have any questions, please call Lois Scancarello at (646) 660-6590 
or e-mail her at the above address.
