In the event that your employment contract has been terminated, portability allows you to continue to be protected after leaving the company for a certain period of time.

Indeed, you continue to benefit from guarantees health costs in effect in your company.

If your company has provident scheme, you also benefit from portability for warranties related to risk of death, incapacity for work and disability.

For this to happen, certain conditions must be met.

You can benefit from portability, if you fill in all the following conditions:

• You have joined the supplementary company health cover
• You've been the subject of a breach of your employment contract for a reason other than gross negligence
• Termination of your employment contract straight work to the assumption by unemployment insurance. Examples: lawful resignation, conventional break approved, dismissal (except gross negligence) including economic.

Your rights-holders portability may also be provided by:

• If it is a collective contract (dit family contract)
• If you even benefit from this portability.

You don't have to pay.

If you meet the conditions, portability is your right.

However, you have to justify to the insurance organization that you are covered by the unemployment insurance scheme.

Your employer reports that these safeguards are maintained in the work certificate and notify the insurance organization of the termination of your employment contract.

You continue to benefit from the additional health and welfare guarantees of the company at from the date of cessation of your employment contract.

You continue to benefit from the complementary health and welfare guarantees of the company during a duration equal to the unemployment benefit period.

This is within the time limit:

• From your last employment contract
• Or, as the case may be, the last employment contracts where they are consecutive with the same employer.

This period may not exceed 12 months (1 year).

Maintaining your coverage ceases:

• At the end of the retention period (example: you are no longer compensated by France Travail (formerly Pôle emploi))
• Or in the event of resumption of a new job resulting in the termination of your unemployment benefit.

This maintenance may not exceed 12 months (one year).

The contract or agreement must provide for the terms and conditions and tariffs of new contracts or agreements.

No later than 2 months after the end of such retention of rights (called portability), the insurer sends you a proposal to maintain the guarantees on an individual basis (referred to as the Evin's law ").

This new contract will:

• Is not free
• Is not time-limited
• Only health care costs and not foresight.

To benefit from this proposal, you must apply no later than 6 months after the end of the portability.
