Reminder to complete dependent verification process for benefits
District employees who participate in any of the health benefit plans must provide official documentation in order to keep eligible dependent on their plan.
Employees must submit documentation for the verification process within 30 days of the date they add the dependent. They will receive a letter from ADP which details specific deadline dates.
Please note that if your dependents are dropped from coverage, they cannot be added to a benefits plan until the 2017 annual enrollment period (with an effective date of Jan. 1, 2017), when you will be required to show proof that they are eligible. You will also be unable to extend coverage through COBRA.
Employees who have a qualifying life event (such as the birth of a child, marriage) will still be able to add an eligible dependent to their plan, but must follow the same verification process.
To verify dependent eligibility, employees must:
- Review the letter sent by ADP to verify the document needed to comply (contact ADP at 877-780-4473 if you cannot locate your letter)
- Gather the required documents for each dependent, including a spouse if applicable
- Fax or mail the completed documents immediately
For specific information and assistance of any kind, call ADP at 877-780-4473. For general information about dependent eligibility, visit www.hisdbenefits.org.
