There are a limited set of allowable circumstances for which a benefits-eligible  Reliant missionary has the right to waive Reliant’s medical coverage. 

If you need to renew your existing waive for 2020, please do so by November 6th using the DocuSign form you received on October 16th. The form below is for new hires.


Allowable waivers

  1. Employer-offered insurance through a parent for missionaries younger than 26
  2. Employer-offered insurance through your spouse’s employment
  3. Medicare/Medicaid
  4. Veteran’s Administration coverage through the military
  5. Reliant Spouse covers you on their insurance

Please note that to be eligible for a waiver, the parent or spouse insurance must be offered by their employer.

Verifying and maintaining your waiver eligibility

  1. Complete the waiver form

  2. Email the completed and signed form along with a copy of proof of insurance from the employer-offered insurance to benefits@reliant.org.

Loss of coverage

If your coverage ceases for any reason, that event is what is called a "qualifying event." It gives you the ability to enroll in Reliant’s medical coverage within 30 days of that event. It is your responsibility to inform Reliant of loss of coverage before you lose it. It is also your responsibility to be covered by Reliant’s medical coverage if you do lose your other allowable coverage. These policies exist due to reasons that are guided by IRS policies and governmental requirements for employers and employees. There are fines that may be incurred if you or Reliant fail to comply. 

If you are turning 26 in the next calendar year, please see Loss of Parents' Insurance Coverage at Age 26.
