Employees planning to add dependents to their benefits for the 2015 calendar year who are not covered by the employee’s 2014 benefits plan must provide appropriate dependent verification to Benefits Administration prior to making their elections during Open Enrollment this November. Providing dependent verification prompts Benefits Administration to add dependents to HCM, allowing employees to add those dependents when using the Open Enrollment system. Employees will be unable to add new dependents to their benefits until they submit the required dependent verification.
A list of acceptable dependent verification documents is available. Documents should be submitted to Benefits Administration, 224 Crawford Hall or via fax to 216.368.3582. If the documentation does not include both the dependent’s date of birth and social security number, that information must also be provided.
Please note that dependents already included in your 2014 benefits are already listed in HCM and will be available when you use the Open Enrollment system in November. No additional dependent verification is needed.
Open Enrollment will run from Nov. 3-30. Please visit the 2015 Open Enrollment website for current information. Important communications will continue to be released through The Daily as Open Enrollment nears.
