If spouses or qualified sponsored adult dependents work for UM, what if one retired while eligible for ret. insurance and the other didn't?

If a spouse or qualified sponsored adult dependent lost eligibility for UM System retiree insurance, the retiree may add the spouse or qualified sponsored adult dependent immediately at the time coverage ends as a dependent for UM System retiree insurance benefits. Please keep in mind, the newly covered spouse or qualified sponsored adult dependent is eligible only for continued coverage under the same programs that individual was enrolled in as an eligible employee. Additionally, such a change must be made within 31 days after the change in status.
