Title 1. Administration |
Agency 55. Department of Human Resource Management |
Chapter 20. Commonwealth of Virginia Health Benefits Program |
Section 290. Reparticipation of local employers
-
Local employers having withdrawn from the health benefits program may reenter the program only with the consent of the department, and only on the July 1 (October 1 for school boards) following the timely submission of an employer application. The July 1 (October 1) effective date may be waived for local employers who have been away from the program for more than three years. Local employers seeking reparticipation may be required to serve a waiting period.
Department consent shall not be granted until all pending contributions, penalties, and other assessments have been paid by a local employer and there is no outstanding litigation pending between the department and the local employer. A pending appeal will not prohibit a local employer from reparticipating in the health benefits program.
