DEPENDENT PROOF DOCUMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR MEDICAL COVERAGE
Effective April 1, 2015, Human Resources is partnering with Aon Hewitt Dependent Verification Services to verify eligibility of dependents enrolled in the UNM Medical Plan. All benefits-‐eligible employees and Pre-‐65 retirees with dependents (spouse, domestic partner, and/or children) enrolled in a UNM Medical Plan will be required to provide documents validating that the dependents they are covering are eligible. Aon Hewitt will provide details about the required documentation via a home-‐mailed letter. In accordance with new IRS reporting requirements, Aon Hewitt will also collect dependent Social Security Numbers on UNM’s behalf during the dependent verification process. Through this transition, please call the HR Service Center with any questions at 505-‐277-‐MYHR (6947) during business hours, Monday -‐ Friday, 8:00 am – 5:00 pm. The list below is not all-inclusive
