Unpaid Military Leave

Making Contributions While on Unpaid Leave

If you wish to continue certain benefits while on any unpaid leave, you must make the necessary contributions on a timely basis, even if you do not receive a bill.

If you qualify for an unpaid military leave, you may continue many of your elected benefits, provided you make the necessary contributions in a timely manner. Please Note: Certain benefits plans have exclusions for injury or illness that results from an act of war.

Benefits that do not continue while you are on an unpaid military leave include:

Business Travel Accident Insurance Plan;

Dependent Care Spending Account;

Transportation Spending Accounts;

Long-Term Disability Plan (after 16 weeks of unpaid military leave); and

Short-Term Disability Plan.

You may resume your benefits coverage when you return to work. Some of your benefits are reinstated, but for others like the Transportation Spending Account, you must re-enroll. Please Note: Evidence of insurability may also be required for some plans.
