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 
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.
