What happens if an employee falls behind on premium payments during FMLA leave?

•    Benefits Administration (BA) will send a notice if an employee is over 30 days past due on their premium, warning that coverage will be suspended if payment isn’t received by month-end.
•    BA will not notify agencies of missed payments—it’s the employee’s responsibility to ensure payments are made on time.
•    The agency ABC should remind the employee that any unpaid premiums will be deducted from payroll once they return to work unless the employee requests to change the effective date of coverage.
