50 U.S.C. § 4024: Health insurance reinstatement

was in effect on the day before such service commenced; and was terminated effective on a date during the period of such service. the condition arose before or during the period of such service; an exclusion or a waiting period would not have been imposed for the condition during the period of coverage; and in a case in which the condition relates to the servicemember, the condition has not been determined by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to be a disability incurred or aggravated in the line of duty (within the meaning of section 105 of title 38 ). Subsection (a) does not apply to a servicemember entitled to participate in employer-offered insurance benefits pursuant to the provisions of chapter 43 of title 38. An application under this section must be filed not later than 120 days after the date of the termination of or release from military service. The amount of the premium for health insurance coverage that was terminated by a servicemember and required to be reinstated under subsection (a) may not be increased, for the balance of the period for which coverage would have been continued had the coverage not been terminated, to an amount greater than the amount chargeable for such coverage before the termination. Paragraph (1) does not prevent an increase in premium to the extent of any general increase in the premiums charged by the carrier of the health care insurance for the same health insurance coverage for persons similarly covered by such insurance during the period between the termination and the reinstatement.
