IMPORTANT INSURANCE CHANGES FOR DEPENDENTS AGES 19 – 26
The UAW Benefits Office has just been informed that if a member has a biological or stepchild dependent (age19-26) they can be covered on your medical insurance REGARDLESS if they are offered or enrolled in medical insurance through their place of employment. Previously, if your dependent was offered or enrolled in medical insurance through their place of employment you were not able to cover this dependent on your medical coverage only on the dental and the vision coverage.
If you have dropped a dependent because they were offered or enrolled in medical through their place of employment you can call Benefit Express (1-888-456-7800) to add this dependent back on to your medical coverage retroactive to January 1, 2012. If you have any problems when you make this call, contact us immediately.
Please be mindful that if your dependent has dual coverage (coverage through Chrysler and another healthcare provider) it is their responsibility to check with the other healthcare provider to see what their rules are regarding dual coverage. If a dependent’s parents both work at Chrysler then that dependent can only be covered by one parent (they cannot have dual Chrysler coverage). Also, if a dependent works at Chrysler and is also covered by a parent who works at Chrysler they will have to choose whether they want to be covered under their own healthcare coverage or their parent’s healthcare coverage (they cannot have dual Chrysler coverage).
