(c) If an Eligible Employee receives an approval notice for additional optional coverage, and discovers it was not updated in OEBB's benefit management system, the member may:
(A) Pay all premiums owed retroactive to the original effective date, or

(B) Re-apply for the additional optional coverage during the next Open Enrollment period, or following and consistent with a Qualified Status Change. Evidence of Insurability may be required.
