How to apply for an extension of coverage

Written notification AND receipt of payment for the extension must occur within 60 days of your plan expiration date. Failure to submit both items before the 61st day will result in a rescission of the extension back to the initial expiration date. Please note that there are no refunds on the extension once the extension term has begun. Please see the SHP certificate of coverage (“Extension of Coverage” information) for details.

We are presently revising the process for requesting an extension and will update this page soon. If you need to request an extension of coverage, please email studentbenefits@cornell.edu within the timeframe listed above.
