If you will be adding new dependents or covering dependents for the first time, you must verify your dependent’s relationship with you by uploading official documentation such as a marriage license or a birth certificate. Once you are finished enrolling in your benefits, you will see a notification pop up next to your ‘To Do’ list, prompting you to upload the required documentation.
You may upload your dependent eligibility verification documents including:
- Marriage certificate
- Affidavit of domestic partnership
- Birth certificate
- Official hospital records for newborns only*
- Adoption certificate
- Copies of official court documentation
Important Note
If you do not provide acceptable documentation for each dependent that you enroll in benefits for the first time, the dependent will not be
covered.
*If you do not have an official state-issued birth certificate by the eligibility deadline, you may submit a copy of the official hospital record used to file for the birth certificate. The document must have both parents’ names, the child’s name, and the date of birth. You should submit the official birth certificate once you receive it.
