Effective 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 Services office in 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.
RSP is soliciting abstracts for the NEH Summer Stipends program. The Office of the Provost will nominate the two highest scored abstracts. To be considered, please email a one-page abstract to rsp@uni.edu by 5 p.m., Wednesday, July 24.
Those are three made-up words that refer to the way bad actors may try to trick you and steal your information. Phishing uses email as the primary hook, vishing uses voice phone calls to do the same and smishing uses text messages (SMS) to interact. The latter two are growing in popularity because they remove the traditional Information Security buffer between the bad guys and the potential victim. More information on smishing can be found at https://www.sans.org/newsletters/ouch/text-messaging-attacks-smishing-saga/
