The Open Enrollment Window has CLOSED for your 2025 Plan Year Elections. However, you may still have tasks to complete.
If you have dependents, you need to…
1. Gather & Submit Dependent Verification Documents for dependent coverage.
If you added a spouse or children to your plans during the Open Enrollment period, you will be required to provide Proof of Dependents within 90 days of the election or they will lose coverage until you submit the documents. It’s important you submit the required document/s the state is asking for. You will be required to upload dependent verification documents to the People First website or mail the documentation to People First, PO Box 6830 Tallahassee, FL 32314.
As an example, for a spouse:
- You would submit a marriage certificate if married less than 12 months and you and your spouse have not filed a federal income tax return as married, you will need to submit a copy of your government-issued marriage certificate OR
- Tax Transcript – If you and your spouse have been married for 12 or more months, a Tax Return Transcript of your most recently filed federal income tax return showing you filed as married, either jointly or separately. The tax return transcript is the only official record of the tax return that you filed with the IRS. A copy of your tax return (Form 1040 or e-file documentation) will not be sufficient. The Form 1040 can be falsified and is not an official record of what was filed with the IRS. You can request a copy of your transcript from the IRS at www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript or by calling the IRS at 800-908-9946. Please submit ONLY the first page, showing your and your spouse’s names or the last four digits of their Social Security number and tax filing period. All other information should be marked out. If you are unable to obtain your transcript, please contact the Division of State Group Insurance.
- Marriage Affidavit – (must be notarized) – If you were married in a foreign country or your spouse is a foreign national and does not have a valid social security number, you will need to submit a government-issued marriage certificate that shows the date of marriage along with your marriage affidavit.
Please note, your People First Portal will continue to show the Dependent Verification Task until the People First Verification Team has verified and accepted the documents you submitted. If there is any issue with any documentation submitted People First will reach out to you directly. If you have any questions, please call People First at 866-663-4735 and ask to speak to the Department Verification Team.
