eligibility ceases due to death, divorce or loss of dependent child
status. However, the amount shall not be reduced if such reduction
would cause insufficient funds needed to pay the full premium for the
employee and the remaining dependents. In the event no reduction
occurs and the remaining benefit premium is not sufficient to pay the
premium amount for the employee and the eligible dependents, said
needed excess premium amount shall be paid by the employee.
