Dependent Verification Requirements

If you add dependent(s) to your medical plan, you are required to submit documentation verifying the dependent meets the plan's eligibility requirements. List of eligible dependents is listed online and in your benefits guide. Dependent verification documentation must be received within 45 days of your enrollment date. In the reference If not received by the deadline your dependents will not be covered and will not be eligible to be added to your benefits until the next annual enrollment period or qualifying life event occurs. For a list of acceptable forms of verification and how to submit, visit the Reference Center once you are logged in to the portal via chsmylife.net.

Changes during the plan year - Qualifying Life Events

The benefits you elect for the 2023 plan year can only be changed if your circumstances change. This is known as a "change in status" brought on by a "qualifying life event."

Changes are allowed if they are on account of and consistent with the qualifying life event. It is your responsibility to notify the Plan of your request by processing your change through the online enrollment system within 30 days of the event.
