If your group elects to offer medical, dental and/or vision continuation coverage, your employee has the ability to apply for continuation coverage. Please refer to your GuideStone Employer Acceptance Agreement to determine if your organization offers continuation.

Medical, dental and/or vision continuation coverage may continue for up to 18 months for terminated employees and/or eligible covered dependents and 36 months for dependents losing their coverage due to turning 26 or loss of coverage due to divorce.

Any employees terminated due to gross misconduct are not permitted to utilize medical, dental and/or vision continuation coverage.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are terminating an employee that you know would like to receive continuation coverage, do not terminate the employee through the Employer Access Program. Please instead submit the Termination of Coverage form and complete section F on page 2.

If you already terminated the employee through the Employer Access Program, please complete the Request for Medical, Dental and/or Vision Continuation form and submit it to your Group Plan specialists. This form must be submitted within 60 days of the employee’s loss of coverage.

Once the coverage is enrolled, your group will continue to be charged for the coverage on your Group Plans statement, and you will be responsible for obtaining payment from the individual for their coverage.
