(1) An employee on
approved leave under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) may
continue to receive the employer contribution toward public employees benefits
board (PEBB) benefits in accordance with the federal FMLA. The employee may
also continue current supplemental life, supplemental accidental death and
dismemberment (AD&D), and employee-paid longterm disability (LTD)
insurance. The employee's employing agency is responsible for determining if
the employee is eligible for leave under FMLA and the duration of such
leave.
(2) An employee on approved
leave under the paid family and medical leave program under chapter 50A.05 RCW
may continue to receive the employer contribution toward PEBB benefits in
accordance with
RCW
50A.35.020. The employee may also continue
current supplemental life, supplemental AD&D, and employee-paid LTD
insurance. The employment security department is responsible for determining if
the employee is eligible for the paid family and medical leave
program.
(3) If an employee
exhausts the period of leave approved under FMLA or paid family and medical
leave, PEBB insurance coverage may be continued by self-paying the premium and
applicable premium surcharges set by the HCA, with no contribution from the
employing agency as described in WAC
182-12-133(1).
