(d) No monies in the Health Insurance Fund, other than the sums received therefor from the participating employer, shall be committed, encumbered or advanced to pay for the coverage of the employees and retired employees of such participating employer. The sums due on the first day of any month must be paid to the Health Insurance Fund promptly; and if not so received, the participating employer shall be in default and coverage of the employees and retired employees of such participating employer shall terminate at the end of the month for which payments have been made. However, upon application of any employer who has so defaulted, the president may authorize the reinstatement of such employer as a participating employer after a lapse of a minimum of two months following the cessation of the coverage of its employees and retired employees; provided, however, that the president may, in his discretion and for good cause shown, reduce or waive such two-month waiting period.
(e) If an employee is insured under an option under which he and his covered dependents, if any, are entitled to benefits on a continuing basis until such time as the participating employer notifies the insurer of the termination of his coverage, the participating employer shall guarantee and be liable for the payment to the Health Insurance Fund of all charges on account of the coverage of such employee and his covered dependents, if any, for all payroll periods preceding and the period within which the insurer is notified by the participating employer of the termination of such coverage.
