Guaranteed Issue for Actively-at Work Employees Who Enroll Within 60- Days of Their Date of Hire
If you are a new, permanent, actively-at-work State of Maryland/Satellite Account employee who works at least 20 hours per week, you can receive guaranteed issue coverage if you enroll within 60 days of your date of hire. That means you do not have to provide medical history to be approved for coverage. Employees enrolling with guaranteed issue must be actively at work on coverage effective date. Current State employees, State retirees and all family members covered by active employees or retirees who do not enroll when first hired must provide medical history to be approved for coverage.
The Long Term Care (LTC) Insurance plan is offered through The Prudential Insurance Company of America (Prudential LTC).
Prudential LTC has updated their phone number to 1-855-778-5821.
