A notification of the conversion privilege must be included in each certificate of coverage. A written notice of the existence of the conversion privilege must also be given to the employee or member at least 15 days before the expiration of the 31 days permitted a person to make a written application for the converted contract. If written notice of the right to convert is not given as required under this section, an additional period must be allowed the person to apply for the converted contract. The additional period expires 15 days after written notice of the conversion privilege has been given, or 60 days after the expiration of the 31-day period, whichever is earlier.
