<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Book Antiqua ;","serif"">Under the new restrictions, a rescission (retroactive cancellation) by the Employer is illegal

you will not be able to access a 60-day retro feature as you have in the past. If you need to retro adjust someone’s enrollment due to intentional misrepresentation, you will need to contact OEBB for assistance.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
