(1) Any eligible
employee may elect to have the employee's dependents covered by the group
benefit plans. Such election shall be made at the time the employee becomes
enrolled in the plan under such procedures as the director shall establish. If
dependent coverage is not elected at the time that an employee becomes enrolled
in an appropriate plan, any subsequent election of dependent coverage shall be
made under such conditions as the director may impose.

(2) Any employee who elects coverage, as provided in subsection (1) of this
section, and who has a change in the number of dependents may, at the time of
such change, increase or decrease the number of dependents covered by the group
benefit plans under procedures established by and subject to the approval of the
director.

(3) Any employee who has no eligible dependents at the time the employee
becomes enrolled in the group benefit plans and who later has an eligible
dependent may, at the time the dependency status changes, elect appropriate
coverage for such dependent under procedures established by and subject to the
approval of the director.

(4) If a dependent is no longer eligible for coverage because the dependent
turned twenty-six years old, the director shall remove the dependent from the
group benefit plan by the end of the month in which the dependent turned twenty-six years old. If the director fails to remove the ineligible dependent, the employee
and the employee's department shall not be directly financially liable for the
premiums paid for the dependent coverage if no claims have been paid for the
ineligible dependent. If the director fails to remove the ineligible dependent and a
claim has been paid for the ineligible dependent, the employee and the employee's
department shall not be directly financially liable for the paid claim. The costs for
premiums and claims paid may be paid from the group benefit plans reserve fund
established in section 24-50-613.
