With respect to the Optional Benefits that involve premium payments for other plans sponsored by the Employer, coverage under the underlying plan may extend beyond the date a Participant ceases to be a Participant in this Plan. In the event the Plan does not learn that a Participant has automatically ceased to be a Participant until a date after the date participation ceased, participation will be terminated retroactively and the Plan shall be entitled to recover any benefits paid after the date participation terminated.
