Own Your Benefits: Verifying Your Dependents

Posted on Tuesday, July 9th, 2024

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
  • 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 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.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

Own Your Benefits: Flexible Spending Account (FSA) Eligible Items

Posted on Monday, June 24th, 2024

Summer is a great time to remind those who have elected a healthcare FSA that it can be used on many over-the-counter items. Sunscreen and over-the-counter allergy medications are eligible for reimbursement. Summer camp fees can be used towards Dependent Care FSA as well.  For a listing of eligible expenses, as well as over-the-counter eligible expenses, visit the FSA website.
