 |
| Qualified
Medical Child Support Order |
You may be required to continue medical coverage for one or more dependents
under a Qualified Medical Child Support Order (QMCSO). A QMCSO is, generally,
any judgment, decree or order issued by a court that requires a parent
to provide health coverage for a child under the parent’s group
health plan. If a QMCSO is issued, you will be allowed to elect coverage
for your child at any time, even if it is not an open enrollment period.
Your share of the cost to provide the coverage will be deducted from
your pay.
Whenever a notice of a judgment or decree is received, the plan administrator
will notify each individual named. The notice will contain procedures
used for determining whether the order is a QMCSO. Within a reasonable
amount of time after the notice is received, the plan administrator
will determine whether the order is qualified and, thus, whether it
will be followed.
Valassis Communications, Inc. and NCH associates paid through ADP should
contact your Human Resources Representative for more information about
QMCSOs or to request a copy of the QMCSO procedures, at no cost to you.
Valassis Direct Mail and Sales & Marketing associates paid through
PeopleSoft can contact the Associate Resource Center at 1-877-238-6847.
