(a) Employees hired as of September 1 under a 10-month contract shall have any premiums for which they may be responsible deducted from the wages they received in September to establish their coverage as of the beginning date of their employment. In order to continue a 10-month employee's coverage during the months of July and August, sufficient charges will be deducted prior to the expiration of their 10-month contract to continue their coverage during the heretofore mentioned months.
(b) Regarding 10-month contract State employees paid on a biweekly basis through the State's Centralized Payroll System, the effective date of coverage for September enrollments will be the period which is the one nearest September 1.
(c) A 10-month employee whose employment resumes in September may enroll eligible dependents within 60 days of the qualifying event. Should any part of the 60-day period occur during July and August, that period will be extended day for day up to 60 days after the employee resumes work in September.
