Enrolling a Family Member

After enrolling in benefits, adding a new benefit, or a life event (such as marriage or the birth/adoption of a child), you will likely need to submit verification and documentation for your spouse and/or dependent. This documentation provides proof of your relationship to the dependent (e.g., marriage certificate, birth certificate, adoption paperwork).

In conjunction with your annual enrollment in benefits, your employer may schedule a Dependent Verification Review. This procedure verifies your dependents' eligibility for coverage under the terms of your medical, dental, vision, and/or other benefit plans.

Important: Your dependent will not be covered until this documentation is approved.

Dependent Relationship	Acceptable Forms of Documentation
Legal Spouse	Most recent Tax Return - OR - Marriage Certificate showing date of marriage
Children
Your Child Under 26 Years	Birth Certificate naming you as parent - OR - Hospital documentation reflecting the child’s birth, naming you as parent (acceptable if child is under 6 months of age
Adopted Child / Child of Legal Guardianship	Adoption Decree - OR - Court documentation confirming adoption
Stepchild	Child’s birth certificate naming your spouse as the child’s parent (if your spouse is not covered on your plan, then Marriage Certificate also required)
