If you made a change to your health and/or dental insurance plan(s) during open enrollment, for those changes to be effective January 1, 2025 you must provide your dependent verification documentation by December 31, 2024. Please see the Verifying Dependents for Benefits Job Aid for assistance.

If you did not make a change to your health and/or dental insurance plan(s) during open enrollment, dependent verification is not required.

Examples of documentation:

• Spouse - marriage certificate, common law spouse affidavit
• Domestic Partner - notarized domestic partner affidavit
• Child - birth certificate which includes parents names, court order, or guardianship paperwork

Since this impacts all life events, including open enrollment, we are notifying employees now so documentation can be easily provided when required. At the time of your life event, you can securely upload documentation to UNI Works or bring it into the Human Resource Services office at Gilchrist 025. All documentation needs to be viewed by HRS staff, but no documentation will be retained after it’s reviewed (i.e., if provided electronically, it will be purged). Do not send any personal documents through email as this is not secure.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
