WHAT IF I...?
Leave Valassis

Here's what you need to do:

  • Submit a letter of resignation to your manager which states your last day of work.

  • Consider termination of benefits. If you leave Valassis, your benefits coverage will end on your last day of the month of employment (unless noted otherwise as indicated below) for:

    • Medical, dental and vision benefits (coverage ends on the last day of the month in which you terminate)
    • Basic Life,AD&D, Dependent Life and Voluntary Life Insurance (date of termination)
    • Health Care Spending Account (date of termination)
    • Dependent Care Spending Account (date of termination)
    • Retirement Savings Plans (date of termination)

  • Consider portability or converting your insurance coverage. You can elect the portability option which means you can take this important coverage with you at a reasonable group rates when you leave Valassis or you can convert your Basic and Voluntary Life Insurance to an individual policy. You will need to complete a Notice of Conversion Privilege and submit it directly to Sun Life. There is additional information regarding the converstion process here.

  • Consider electing COBRA coverage. Benefits terminate the end of the month in which you terminate employment. You will receive notification of your rights to continue your medical, dental, vision and prescription benefits and the Health Care Spending Account through the provisions of COBRA. Notification will arrive about mid month following your benefit termination date. The cost for COBRA continuation is 102% of the full premium rate.

  • Review unused vacation days. You will be paid for any vacation days you have accrued but not taken.

  • Consider Retirement Savings Plans options. Review the guide to your retirement plan options when you leave Valassis and contact JPMorgan at 800-345-2345 for assistance.

  • Notify Valassis if you move. If you leave Valassis and move within the next two years, you should notify Valassis of your new address. Valassis may need to send you additional information, such as tax-related material or COBRA information.

    If you maintain your retirement savings accounts with Valassis, you should notify JPMorgan of any address or marital changes.
