December Conducting a Dependent Verification What Is Dependent Verification?  A dependent verification is a process where employees must provide specific documentation indicating that their dependents are eligible for medical, dental and vision coverage. Who Is Impacted by the Dependent Verification?  The dependent verification process will apply to employees who enrolled during Annual Enrollment as well as to employees who adds a new dependent to benefits or is a new hire with dependents.  There will be a gap or catch-up verification of all dependents added since the comprehensive audit was conducted last summer. It will cover all dependent additions from July 1, 2010 through January 25 th (approx). Why Is First Data conducting this verification?  First Data has a fiduciary responsibility to manage health care costs and to ensure that the Plan covers only those dependents who are eligible.

December Statistics  On average, 1% - 3% of employees voluntarily drop coverage for ineligible dependents during the verification process. (First Data had 1.27% dependents dropped voluntarily.)  On average, 5% - 15% of dependents will be ineligible as a result of the verification process. (First Data had 6% dependents dropped during the verification process.)  One dependent costs an estimated $221 per month towards health care costs.  First Data 2010 Verification Results 1,233 dependents dropped from coverage for an estimated yearly savings of $2.77 million.

December Services Provided  Documentation request, collection, and verification  Inbound and outbound call center –Bilingual: English and Spanish –8:00 am to 7:00 pm (Central Time)  Determine if verification documents are authentic and valid  Assistance in locating state and county offices where documents may be obtained –Fees for obtaining documentation, such as a birth certificate and a marriage certificate, are the responsibility of the employee  Custom web portal allows members to check verification status, view employee FAQ’s, access our resource library of county clerk and state office contact information, and upload documentation  Secured document storage and document disposal following completion of the verification process

December Services Provided  Verification documentation is requested from the employee  Employee mails documents to the Dependent Verification Center, faxes documentation to the secured fax line, or uploads documentation via employee web portal  Documentation is reviewed to verify eligibility –If all enrolled dependents are eligible, the employee is notified that the verification process is complete –If a dependent is ineligible, or if additional documentation is needed, the member is notified that proper documentation was not received, and an outline of missing documentation is provided  Dependents removed from coverage because of lack of proof will not be eligible for COBRA coverage

December Eligible Dependents  The verification requirements for each family will be determined by the eligibility criteria for the Plan in which they are enrolled; eligible dependents include: –Legal Spouse –Common Law Spouse –Same-Sex Spouse –Domestic Partner –Biological Children –Adopted Children –Stepchildren –Legal Guardianship –Foster Child –Disabled Dependents

December Ineligible Dependents  Former spouse  Individuals who are not: natural children, stepchildren, adopted children, or for whom the employee is not the legal guardian  Children over the age of the Plan’s limiting age who have not been certified as medically disabled (age 26)  Parents of employees  Children of Domestic Partner
