Dependent Eligibility Verification
Purpose
When you enroll your spouse/partner and/or eligible dependent children, in any of your CU medical, dental, vision, life insurance or tuition assistance benefits, as a New Hire or due to a Life Event, CU requires documentation to verify their eligibility.
You must submit documentation of eligibility for each dependent as listed in the Dependent Eligibility Verification (DEV) form (see below). If you do not provide the necessary documentation, your unverified dependents will be removed from your benefits plans.
