CalPERS Dependent Re-Verification Requirement - Is Your Birthday in May?

Dependent Re-Verification (DRV) is the process of re-verifying the eligibility of your spouse, domestic partner, children, stepchildren, and domestic partner children (family members) enrolled for state health and dental benefits. Government Code section 22843.1 mandates re-verifying the eligibility of your family members. Government Code section 22959 authorizes extending this review to your family members enrolled for dental benefits.

The eligibility of your family members will be re-verified once every three years. The re-verification period is based on your birth month. Employees born during the following months are required to re-verify family members during 2019: February, May, August and November.

For those employees with birthdays in May, CalPERS, mailed you information in February explaining the process and the documentation required to maintain health coverage for your dependents. Please read and ensure Human Resources has your documents prior to May 1, 2019 in order for your dependent(s) to continue receiving health coverage and avoid cancellation on 06/1/2019.
