Such requests will not be made more than once a year following a two year period after this Dependent reaches the limiting age. Eligibility will continue as long as the Dependent relies on the eligible employee for support because of a physically or mentally disabling Injury, Illness or condition that began before he or she reached the limiting age. 2.6 Dependents in military service are not eligible. 2.7 Every enrolled employee and Dependent meeting the preceding conditions of eligibility Is an Enrollee. However, Delta Dental will not provide Benefits for any employee or his or her Dependents unless (1) the employee Is Included on the list of Primary Enrollees submitted as required by this Article (or any revision or correction of such a list), and (2) the appropriate payments are made as required by Article 3 of this Contract, for the months in which Delta Dental provides covered dental services. 2.8 The Contractholder agrees to enroll all of Its Primary Enrollees in this plan, All employees of the Contractholder meeting the eligibility requirements of this Article are "Primary Enrollees" under this plan unless the Contractholder offers one or more alternate plans of dental coverage. In that event, Primary Enrollees will continue to be eligible under this plan unless they rile a choice card with the Contractholder electing an alternate plan during an open enrollment period agreed upon between Delta Dental and the Contractholder. 2.9 The Contractholder will compile and furnish Delta Dental with an initial report of all Primary Enrollees, showing their Enrollee ID numbers, their dates of hire and division codes. The initial report shall be provided to Delta Dental or prior to the Effective Date of this Contract. The Contractholder also agrees to report all persons electing continued coverage under Article 10, showing their Enrollee ID numbers and date of election. 2.10 The Contractholder may continue to submit subsequent eligibility reports monthly or may report only additions or deletions to the initial report. If the report is not updated by the Contractholder or has not arrived or been processed for the current month, Delta Dental will extend the last report received to process claims. The extension of the eligibility report does not waive the requirement that the Contractholder provide an updated report to Delta Dental each month indicating additions or deletions from any previous report. The Contractholder shall pay, as set forth in Article 3, all Premiums applicable for Primary Enrollees reported in the updated report. 2.11 Enrollees are not eligible during a period the Primary Enrollee does not report to work on a regular basis and is not actively employed as determined by the Contractholder. Eligibility resumes on the first day of the month following the return to active employment If amounts due to Delta Dental for Enrollees have been paid. Eligibility can continue without Interruption If the Contractholder continues to report the employee as a Primary Enrollee and the amounts due to Delta Dental are paid on the employee's behalf. Coverage is reinstated on the day employment Is resumed for Enrollees that are members of the National Guard or a military reserve unit absent from work due to active military duty. Any waiting period applied as a result of an Enrollee's absence from active employment due to service in the National Guard or military reserve unit shall be waived. a 25C-56
