25 NCAC 01J .1309          HEALTH INSURANCE

Employees reinstated from dismissal shall be entitled to either retroactive coverage under the State Health Plan or to reimbursement up to the amount the state contributes for employee only coverage. The employee shall have the right to elect between these two choices, provided that if the employee elects reimbursement, the employee may do so only if the employee had secured alternate health insurance coverage during the period of interruption of employment. The employee shall not be reimbursed for the cost of coverage of dependents or spouse during the period between dismissal and reinstatement, but the employee may choose to purchase that retroactive coverage. It is the responsibility of the employee to provide proof of insurance or insured expenses incurred during the period of unemployment.
