In 2013, due to federal regulations, employees who lose benefits eligibility (through a change in schedule, termination of employment or any other reason) and regain that eligibility within 31 days of their original benefits end date are reinstated with no break in coverage. Premiums for the reinstated coverage are deducted from the first available paycheck. If you leave HISD or lose your benefits eligibility and return to work after 31 days, you must re-enroll to receive benefits coverage.
