Contrary to what many believe, users of health plans are not discredited after termination. Unfair dismissal does not imply breaking total contract. Some benefits offered by the old firm can still be enjoyed. "Retired or not, it helped with the payment plan when they were linked to the company, the right to continue to enjoy the benefits should be provided to them," said the lawyer Gabriela Guerra, health expert and consumer rights.
But the contract needs to be reworked. According to Gabriela, according to Law No. 9656/98 - Law of Health Plans, a disfellowshipped person shall pay in full with your monthly expenses. The same law provides that the validity of this new agreement for the worker is not retired for two years, and at least six months. For others is that the contract will be signed during the cool period in which he devoted himself to the old organization - worked up a year, so you can enjoy the same time the health plans.
If the former employer if the other plan combines the ratio of benefit from it also never ceases. "They should just migrate the portfolio to the new plan," explains Gabriela War. "The right shall not be obstructed if the citizens back to work." Their greatest concern is whether the new work environment will be offered the same benefit. Regardless of the outcome, the bond with the old company is broken at that moment.
The expert notes that these facts pass almost unnoticed by the population. "At the time of membership or termination of employment, it is not exposed by most companies and therefore it is the responsibility of the former employee seeking further information," says Gabriela War. "It has up to 30 days, after the resignation, to express your interest in staying with the plan."
