4/23/09 Attention: all employees and retirees enrolled in a family plan through the New York State Health Insurance Plan - Empire Plan or a participating HMO:
As the result of special legislation, the Department of Civil Service has contracted the services of BUDCO Health Service Solutions to administer a Dependent Eligibility Verification Project. The purpose of this project is to verify eligibility for dependents and to also provide a special amnesty period which allows enrollees to remove ineligible dependents from coverage on a current basis.
Although the University is not directly involved in this process, we STRONGLY encourage you to respond as necessary for your individual situation.
You should have already received the initial letter with information and a list of the current dependents on your plan. This is also the announcement for the special amnesty period. MAKE SURE YOU VERIFY THE LIST OF YOUR DEPENDENTS AND REMOVE THEM NOW IF THEY ARE NOT ELIGIBLE. You will do this directly with BUDCO according to the instructions provided in the letter. Requests for verification for any eligible dependents will follow. At that time it will be imperative that you provide copies of the requested documents in order to avoid having eligible dependents be removed from your plan.
Even if you have already provided this verification to the Human Resources office in the past, this is a separate audit and you will need to reply directly to BUDCO with your documentation.
Since all correspondence is being mailed directly to your home address on file, please be mindful of any address changes you may have had.
