The State Department of Human Resource Management will be conducting a dependent eligibility audit in during the month of September. This audit will affect all Virginia State employees who have dependents covered under their health insurance.
If you are enrolled in the state health plan and have "You Plus One" or "You Plus Two or More" coverage, you will receive a packet of information concerning the audit of eligible dependents. Once you receive the packet in the mail, please provide the necessary information to protect your continued coverage by the state health plan.
You will be asked to sign an affidavit attesting that each of your dependents is eligible to be covered by the state health plan (click here for definitions of eligible dependents).
Participation is required. The health benefits program may initiate spot audits that will require additional documentation of dependent eligibility. The benefit to you and other state employees is that this audit will help keep health care costs down by removing ineligible persons from the state health plan.
A list of Frequently Asked Questions is available. You may also call a toll-free number provided in the packet for additional information. It is important to participate in the audit and respond promptly. You risk losing your health coverage if you do not participate.
In addition to the audit, all new employees and employees wishing to add a dependent to their coverage will be required to provide the additional documentation:
