Dependent Eligibility Verification is Required
As an employee covering dependents on the Nidec medical plan, you are required to provide proof of eligibility for all dependents you choose to enroll in benefits. We understand that this process requires both time and effort on your part and want you to know that we are here to help you through this process.
As part of our continued efforts to manage health and welfare costs, we are verifying eligibility for coverage for each of your dependents listed on the enclosed Cover Sheet. Instructions on verification requirements and how to submit documentation are also enclosed. To determine who is considered an eligible dependent, refer to the “Dependent Classification and Document Requirements” section.
To help ensure there are no delays in your dependent(s) benefit coverage, you must submit the proper documentation to verify your dependent’s eligibility within 30 days of enrolling your dependents in Nidec benefits.
You must load your documents in Workday and then send an email to [email protected] letting us know that the documents have been uploaded for review and approval. Please provide an email address where we can reach you regarding the status of your submission.
Please note: if you do not submit the proper documentation to verify your dependent(s) eligibility by the deadline listed above, your dependent(s) will be removed from the Plan. Please ensure you comply by submitting your documentation in a timely manner.
