Terminated employees' benefits should stay active through the last day of the month. However, their benefits are inactive on their termination date…

In an Enrollment Event Rule, Coverage End Date dictates when coverage terminates. “On the Event Date” ends coverage the same day the termination event occurs, so benefits stop immediately instead of continuing through month-end.

A. “On the Half Month” ends coverage on the 15th/last day, not the exact event date.

B. “On Pay Period Begin After Event Date” ends on the next pay-period start, not same day.

C. “Last Day of the Month” would have kept coverage active through month-end as desired.
