Marriage licenses, birth certificates, adoption papers: UC needs them from most employees and retirees by next Thursday (May 17), otherwise you and your family members may be de-enrolled from UC-sponsored health benefits.

Family member eligibility verification packets went out by mail to home addresses in March and early April, and reminders went out in mid-April to people who had not yet responded. Now the crunch is on to get the documents in, and, at this late date, your best bet is to fax them or upload them to Secova Inc.鈥檚 secure database. Secova is the vendor administering the verification project on behalf of UC.

Some people are exempt from the verification project:

  • Employees and retirees with no family members enrolled in UC-sponsored health insurance
  • Employees in post-doctoral positions
  • Retirees who are enrolled in the vision plan only
  • Medical residents
  • Student employees
  • Employees hired after Feb. 13, 2012 (for whom verification requests will come later)

嘿嘿视频' Demonstration Reviews website has been updated with of two reports that came out last week:

  • Academic Senate special committee
  • Robinson-Edley's "Response to Protests on UC Campuses," from Charles Robinson, UC general counsel, and Christopher Edley, dean of the UC Berkeley law school
