Throughout the month of September, Green Dot is hosting a series of events - everyone is welcome to participate. The more people across campus who engage with Green Dot, the more effectively we can change the campus culture and norms. Our work is built on the idea that no one has to do everything, everyone has to do something.Check out the events at greendot.uni.edu.

Effective Monday, July 1, 2024, due to a recent audit, all employees having a qualified life event and making any changes to their family health and/or dental coverage must verify all dependent relationships by providing corresponding legal documentation.
Examples of documentation:
Spouse - marriage certificate, common law spouse 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 to UNI Works or bring into the Human Resource 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.
