DIVORCE NOTICE WITHOUT DELAY
You must notify the TBT Plan Administration Office of a divorce without delay (and provide the TBT Plan Administration Office with a copy of the final divorce decree). Coverage for your former spouse ends on the first day of the month after your divorce is final. If you delay and the Plan pays benefits for your former spouse, you will be responsible for paying back the overpayment to TBT. See the RSP Guide (PDF) (above) for more information.
Notice of COBRA Qualifying Event
If you already have RSP coverage, your covered spouse may have COBRA continuation rights and self-pay for COBRA coverage if one of the following “qualifying events” occurs:
- You divorce, or
- Upon your death (if you were married after you enrolled for Retiree coverage).
If you divorce while enrolled for RSP coverage, your ex-spouse may elect to pay for COBRA continuation coverage for up to 36 months from the date he or she loses coverage. See the RSP Guide and Summary of Coverage (above) for more information about COBRA coverage under your Plan.
