On March 29, 2004, UC/HR Benefits mailed letters to randomly selected faculty, staff and retirees to verify family member eligibility for UC-sponsored Health and Welfare enrollment. This program replaces previous verification procedures, including the annual Spring tax verification, which required members to submit tax records from the previous year.
This random audit procedure is designed to meet the University's health and welfare plan contract obligations and will be conducted on an annual basis. Responses to the request are due at UC/HR Benefits in Oakland by Friday, April 30, 2004.
As indicated in the verification letter, if the documentation to verify family member eligibility is not submitted to UC HR/Benefits, the applicable family member(s) will be de-enrolled retroactively to January 1, 2003, or the effective date of coverage, whichever is more recent. UC reserves the right to recover any costs incurred for any ineligible family members.
If you have questions about the verification process, call the UC Customer Service Center at 1-800-888-8267, Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.
