OTHER BUSINESS/ADJOURNMENT
Ms. Hain gave an update on Benefits Outsourcing Solutions (BOS) verification of active and retired
employees’ dependents. The deadline to submit verification information was March 14. By now
everyone should have received a confirmation letter. Out of 3,642 who received the packet, only 82
did not respond at all (including about 30 retirees) and 157 that responded had something missing.
HR is reaching out to those two groups to let them know they have until April 18 to provide further
documentation or those dependents will be removed from coverage. Dependents removed from
coverage will receive COBRA notice. Once correct documentation is provided, eligible dependents
can be added back to coverage for January, 2015 . Someone can also purchase coverage through
the exchange. Commissioners were advised to refer calls on this matter to Ms. Hain or Ms. Ramey
in HR. A list of Dependent Audit Communications since August 6, 2013 was made available to the
committee.
Ms. Scarlet reported that health screenings are under way and participation is being tracked.
There being no other business to come before th e Committee, the meeting was adjourned at 1:57
