Terminations & Retirement
As a terminating team member of Old National, you should understand the following facts regarding your group benefits. Please read the following information (as applicable) regarding your benefit coverage(s).
Health Insurance
Terminating Associates & COBRA
Coverage for team member, currently enrolled in Old National’s medical, dental and/or vision plans, will cease at the end of the month in which employment terminates. Team members, their spouse and eligible dependents may be entitled to continue these coverages under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, commonly known as “COBRA.” For additional information regarding rates, eligibility and continuation of coverage through COBRA, refer to the COBRA section of Old National’s Associate Handbook.
Flexible Spending Plans
If you contribute to a Health Care reimbursement account, you can submit claims towards the remaining balances until the end of the current plan year. However, eligible claims will only be reimbursed for services rendered through the end of the month in which your employment terminates.
If you contribute to a Dependent Care reimbursement account, you may submit claims towards the remaining balances until the end of the current plan year for eligible expenses incurred during the plan year. However, eligible claims will only be reimbursed up to the balance in your account at the time you cease to be a participant.
Terminating team members, who have a balance in their Health Care account at the time of termination, may be eligible to continue their contributions to the plan under COBRA. The Dependent Care Plan does not qualify as a benefit under COBRA and cannot be continued beyond termination.
