If you were one of the approximately 6,900 Ohio State employees required to verify your dependents’ eligibility for Ohio State health benefits, you will need to submit a reply by the April 16 deadline. Those who do not verify eligibility by the April 16 deadline will lose coverage immediately.
The university has contracted with Xerox HR Solutions (Xerox) on the verification process. During the week of March 16, Xerox sent U.S. Mail contact to those 6,900 employees chosen for verification.
The Office of Human Resources has put together a FAQ document for those affected who have questions regarding the process. http://hr.osu.edu/benefits/hb_dependentcertification
If you have additional questions, you can contact the Office of Human Resources Customer
Service at service@hr.osu.edu or 614-292-1050/1-800-678-6010.
Ohio State is committed to offering high-quality health care coverage while being good stewards of its resources by managing costs of its benefits programs. Covering ineligible dependents may be unnecessarily increasing plan costs by millions per year based on an average annual per dependent cost of more than $4,600.
