Okla. Stat. tit. 74, § 74-1332.2: Disability Insurance Program - Election to participate

- Continued employee status during disability.

A. Beginning July 1, 1990, persons who are active employees of

the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission may elect to participate

in the Disability Insurance Program. Any election to participate

shall be received by the State and Education Employees Group

Insurance Board prior to January 1, 1991. Employees who do not

elect to participate in the disability program shall not thereafter

be eligible to participate in the State Disability Insurance Program

unless their present disability insurance coverage is canceled by

the insurer offering said coverage. In the event of such

cancellation, all participants in the agency offered disability plan

shall be immediately transferred to the state disability insurance

plan. Any person who does not qualify for the Commission disability

plan prior to their transfer to the State Plan shall participate in

the state disability insurance program.

B. Oklahoma Employment Security Commission employees who are or

become disabled pursuant to the provisions of the agency disability

plan shall retain their status as an employee so long as their

disability continues.
