(a) Any eligible employee or official may elect to have
his dependents covered by the group insurance plan. The election
shall be made at the time the employee or official becomes
enrolled in the plan, under procedures the department may
establish. If dependent coverage is not elected at the time that
an employee or official becomes enrolled in the plan, dependent
coverage may be elected at a later date under conditions the
department may impose, such as physical examination or the
exclusion of preexisting conditions from coverage.
(b) Any employee or official who has elected to have his
dependents covered as provided in subsection (a) of this
section, and who subsequently has a change in the number of his
dependents, may at the time of the change increase or decrease
the number of his dependents covered by the group insurance plan
under procedures established by the department.
(c) Any employee or official who has no eligible
dependents at the time he becomes enrolled in the group
insurance plan, and who later has an eligible dependent may, at
the time his dependency status changes, elect coverage for the
dependent under procedures established by the department.

elected to have his dependents covered as provided in subsection
(a) of this section, and who suffers a work related death as a
result of employment as an official or employee, shall continue
to be covered for a period of six (6) months after the date of
