ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Dependent Verification Requirements
The FBMC online enrollment system has a “Document Upload” feature to easily add dependent verification documents directly to the enrollment website – only required if you are adding new dependents during this open enrollment. If you elect to add new dependents to insurance (health, dental, vision), you will be required to provide documentation showing that they meet eligibility requirements. To verify your dependents, you must submit the required documentation as defined in the Dependent Verification Documentation Chart along with the signed Certificate of Dependent Eligibility Attestation. Required documentation must be received in Human Resources by the close of business, October 28, 2016, for the January 1, 2017 effective date of coverage. Your enrollment elections, including the dependents added, are subject to review and/or modification based on the dependent documentation you supply. Please note: this requirement is only for newly added dependents taking effect January 1, 2017. If you have already submitted documents on current dependents you are not required to do it again.
