Dependent Verification will continue to be required for all dependents covered on medical, dental, vision, and spouse life. When you enroll your dependent, you will be notified that verification is required in order to cover that dependent on one of our plans. You will receive a letter telling you what is acceptable documentation and where to send those documents.
 

Once a dependent has been verified, it is not necessary to verify that person again. However, do not ignore any notification you might receive regarding dependent verification. For questions regarding dependent verification, you may contact our benefits helpline at 866-222-KISD (5473).
