Why did I receive a Dependent Eligibility Audit package?

If your employer has engaged Benetech to verify the eligibility of dependents covered by the benefit plans, and you have dependents enrolled in one or more of those plans, you would receive an audit package.

Why is dependent eligibility being audited?
Keeping high-quality benefits affordable for all eligible persons is critically important.
Covering ineligible dependents drives up the cost of benefits for everyone. The dependent eligibility verification program is another step in on-going efforts to provide valuable benefits to all who are eligible to participate, while helping to control healthcare costs. Many employers have fiduciary responsibilities regarding who is covered under their plans, and this program is one of the best ways for to meet those responsibilities.
