Asked 5 months ago - Charlotte, NC
FlagHR refused to release a letter that I requested unless I tell them why I want It. I only requested them to verify my date of hire, that I am out on worker's compensation & the return date that the excuse had. Do I have to tell them what it is for? Are they allowed to sign me up for health insurance without my permission or knowledge, pay for it and then demand payments while I am out on workers's compensation.
The employer probably cannot exclude you from the group health plan without violating federal law, so the answer is yes, they can sign you up for it. You may be able to exclude yourself from coverage. You will have to ask them. Of course, having health insurance coverage is a good thing, so think carefully about it before you opt out of coverage.
