What is dependent verification?
After you enroll new dependents, you will be asked to provide certain paperwork to verify their eligibility. It will include items such as a marriage license, proof of current financial responsibility, birth certificate, etc. It’s important to know forging information has consequences, including cancellation of dependent coverage and disciplinary action that could include termination.
Why do I need to verify my dependents?
To ensure all dependents added to your benefits are eligible for coverage, we need to verify their relationship to you. Providing proof of your relationship through certain documentation, known as dependent verification, ensures anyone you have added to your plan(s) can be covered.
