Please be aware that Ca!PERS is conducting an audit of employees who also have dependents included in their medical plans. Leila Menzies (Vice President for
Administrative Services-Risk Management) sent a message to District employees in
December informing them of this audit.
The audit is being conducted by a third party (HMS Employer Solutions) under a contract with CalPERS. The District does not have anything to do with the audit except to respond to questions from our empioyees regarding the documentation which they are being required to provide...marriage license/ birth certificate/ guardianship, etc.
Attached is the letter which employees have received. The deadline for providing documentation to HMS Empioyer solutions is January 20, 2015. Should you have questions/ please let me know.
Thank you.

Q9; May I provide my documents to my Human Resources Department or to CalPERS?
No. Neither your Human Resources Department nor CalPERS will forward your documents to HMS and they will not provide subscribers with copies of previously submitted documents.
The only way to ensure that all documents are logged appropriately and eligibility is verified is to submit your supporting documentation directty to HMS. Please do not cat! your Human Resources Department or CaiPERS
Customer Contact Center with questions or for assistance with the verification project, as this is an independent verification process.
Q10: My child's birth cerUHcate has a notation that it is Illegal to copy. How can t send this as proof of my dependent's eligibility?
Birth certificates issued by certain states (such as New Mexico and Pennsylvania) contain a specific prohibition against copying or duptlcating. !f your child's birtti certificate has this notation, you can send the hospital birth record that shows the name and birth date of your chifct, parent names» and a signature from either the hospital administration and/or the attending physician. If you have any questions, please contact the HMS Dependent
Eligibility Verification Center.
Q11: Can an exception be granted to allow my inetlgjble dependent to stay covered?
No. Only dependents who currently satisfy the plan's etigibility definition can remain covered.
If the dependent is no longer eligible because of a "qualifying event" (e.g., divorce, chifd reaches age limit), see your
Human Resources representative for COBRA details. COBRA, or the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Recondljation
Act, gives workers and their families who lose their health benefits the nght to choose to continue group health benefits provided by their group health plan for limited periods of time under certain circumstances. Qualified indivtduais should contact their Human Resources representative, or Ca!PERS if retired, for COBRA details.
Q12: What are my options for submitting documentation to HMS Employer Solutions?
HMS Employer Solutions offers a variety of options for document submission:
Document upload on the secure webslte: Log in to www.VerifyOS.com using your reference number and your date of birth. Your reference number is located on the top right hand corner of the letter that you received. Once you have accessed the site, select the "Upload Documents" tab.
