Canceling Health Coverage

You may cancel your coverage at any time after you retire by either completing the “cancel/waive” portion of the State Health Benefits Program Enrollment/Waiver Form for Retirees pdf 128kb or by sending a written request to VRS. Include your name, social security number and signature on the request to cancel. Once you cancel, you will not have another opportunity to enroll in the State Retiree Health Benefits Program unless you return to work in a classified position in a state agency, or are the dependent of an active state employee and covered under his or her State health benefit plan. You will have 31 days from the loss of your existing eligibility to enroll in the State Retiree Health Benefits program. Your cancellation also cancels coverage for your covered dependents.
