Post-Termination Benefits Checklist

After your separation from Acrisure, certain benefits require timely action to preserve your rights, avoid forfeiture of funds, or continue coverage.

Immediate Review (First 1–2 Weeks):

  • Health, dental, vision: If you are currently enrolled in any of these benefits through Acrisure, you will receive your COBRA election packet from Optum Financial, mailed to the home address you have on file in Workday. You have 60 days to elect coverage. Health coverage ends the last day of the month of termination.

Your health, dental, and vision options vary based on your personal situation and benefit coverage elections at the time of your separation from Acrisure.

  • Continue your current Acrisure coverage by electing COBRA coverage and submit payment to Optum Financial within deadlines.
  • Enroll in coverage through a family member’s plan.
  • Apply for Marketplace coverage.
  • Enroll in Medicare (if eligible).

Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA):

  • Submit Healthcare FSA claims for eligible expenses incurred prior to your separation date within 90 days of separation, unless you elect and continue Healthcare FSA coverage through COBRA.
  • Submit Dependent Care FSA claims for eligible expenses incurred prior to your separation date within 90 days of separation.
  • Retain documentation for IRS purposes.

Commuter Benefits:

  • Contributions stop at separation; remaining funds may be used for eligible expenses.

Health Savings Account (HSA):

  • Your HSA remains yours. Funds can be used for qualified expenses. Future contributions depend on High-Deductible Health Plan enrollment; not eligible if enrolled in Medicare. See the chart below for deadlines and additional details. For questions specifically regarding eligible or ineligible expenses or HSA usage, please contact Optum Bank directly.

Life & Disability Insurance:

  • Review conversion/portability options with Lincoln Financial, Chubb, and Allstate Benefits. Submit within required timeframes.
  • You can expect to receive information from the vendor within 2–3 weeks. Timing may vary slightly depending on vendor processing.

Retirement Plan (401(k)):

  • Review your account balance with Principal Financial Group and options available to you.
  • Decide whether to leave assets, roll over, or request distribution.
  • Address outstanding loans immediately.

Voluntary Benefits:

  • Contact vendors directly to continue coverage: LegalShield, IdentityForce, Nationwide, Genomic Life.

Employee Assistance Program (EAP):

  • Access is available for 90 days post-termination, or longer if you choose COBRA coverage. If you start sessions with an EAP counselor prior to your eligibility for the EAP ending, you may finish your remaining sessions after your EAP eligibility end date.

 

Benefits vendor contact information is available here.

Enrolling in Medicare

If you are eligible for Medicare, review your enrollment options carefully when active employee coverage ends. Delaying enrollment may result in coverage gaps or late enrollment penalties.

If you enroll in Medicare, you may no longer contribute to a Health Savings Account (HSA), although existing HSA funds remain available for qualified expenses. For more information, visit Medicare.gov or call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227).

Important Legal Notice – ERISA & COBRA Rights

Certain benefits offered through Acrisure LLC are governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended. ERISA provides participants and beneficiaries with specific rights and protections regarding group health and welfare benefit plans.

Under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA), you and your eligible dependents may have the right to temporarily continue group health coverage at your own expense when coverage would otherwise end due to a qualifying event, such as termination of employment.

Key COBRA Rights include:

  • You have 60 days to elect COBRA coverage. The 60-day period starts on the later of these two dates: the date your coverage would otherwise end, or the date you receive the COBRA election notice.
  • If elected and premiums are paid timely, COBRA coverage is retroactive to the date active coverage ended.
  • You are responsible for paying the full cost of coverage plus any applicable administrative fee, unless otherwise outlined in your separation agreement.
  • Failure to elect or remit premiums within required deadlines will result in permanent loss of COBRA continuation rights.
  • COBRA continuation periods generally last up to 18 months following termination of employment, unless extended due to disability or other qualifying events as permitted under federal law.

If you believe your ERISA or COBRA rights have been violated, you may request plan documents or file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA). Additional information is available at www.dol.gov/ebsa.
