18A:66-182. Evidence of insurability
a. Any person entitled to become a participant in an alternate benefit program shall not be allowed any of the group life and disability insurance benefits if on the date he files an application for participation he is 60 or more years of age or if he makes application for participation in an alternate benefit program beyond the year after he first became eligible for participation, regardless of age, unless the participant furnishes satisfactory evidence of insurability and on the effective date of his participation is actively at work and performing all his regular duties at his customary place of employment.
The effective date of coverage for such benefits shall be the first day of the month which immediately follows the date when such evidence is determined to be satisfactory.
b. Such evidence of insurability will not be required of any person becoming a participant of an alternate benefit program upon transfer from the Teachers' Pension and Annuity Fund, the Public Employees' Retirement System, other State-administered retirement system or the Group Annuity Plan, if such system provided benefits of a similar nature and the transferring employee was covered by such benefits at the time of the transfer. If such transferring employee was not covered by such benefits at the time of the transfer, he may be allowed the benefits under the group policy or policies subject to the provisions of subsection a. of this section; provided, however, that any such participant must furnish satisfactory evidence of insurability under the provisions of subsection a. of this section, if he had been unable or failed to give such evidence as a member of the system from which he transferred.
c. Any person who must furnish satisfactory evidence of insurability under the provisions of this section and who ceases to be a participant of an alternate benefit program without such evidence having been given, shall continue to be subject to the same requirement if he subsequently becomes a participant.
L.1969, c. 242, s. 16, eff. July 1, 1969.
