How the payment schedule differs for orthodontia claims
When Coverage Begins
When you first join the company, your dental coverage begins on the first of the month after you have two continuous months of service with the company, provided you have enrolled within 31 days of your eligibility period.
When Coverage Ends
Generally, dental coverage under DallasNews Corporation’s plan for you and your enrolled dependents ends
when you:
Terminate employment with DallasNews Corporation (effective at the end of the month you terminate)
Cancel or drop coverage
Stop making any required payments for coverage
Die
Coverage also ends if the plan is terminated, your employer stops participating in the plan or the plan is amended to terminate coverage for a group or class of individuals that includes you.
