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, or uploaded to the FBMC “Document Upload” feature, by the close of business, Nov. 6, 2020, for the Jan. 1, 2021, effective date of coverage.
