Don't Lose Your Spousal Health Coverage

By now, NYSID retirees under the New York State Health Insurance Plan (NYSHIP) should have received a letter seeking verification of eligibility in order to continue coverage for their spouse and/or dependents.

DO NOT IGNORE THIS LETTER!

If you fail to send the appropriate proof, your spouse or dependents could lose coverage retroactive to January 1, 2016. (For spouses, such proof includes a copy of your marriage certificate and one additional document, such as a copy of the first page of your most recent joint tax filing),

The initiative is in accordance with the 2016 NYSHIP dependent eligibility verification program and represents Phase 2 of the program.
