More CVT Eligibility Information
CVT to Conduct Dependent Eligibility Verification Review
An important responsibility of CVT is to make sure coverage costs are as competitive as possible and to ensure that the Trust is paying claims for only those dependents of members who are eligible. Verifying that all dependents are eligible is one way to help us accomplish this goal.
What is a Dependent Verification Review?
A dependent review is the examination of an employer’s health and welfare plan participants to ensure enrolled dependents meet eligibility criteria. There are many benefits to undergoing a dependent verification, especially given the changing landscape of healthcare reform. It will help control healthcare costs for all CVT members, preserve benefits and ensure sustainability of the Trust. Removing ineligible dependents will also reduce costs and fees associated with the Affordable Care Act.
To ensure that only those who are actually eligible are provided with CVT coverage, CVT has retained HMS, a professional, independent firm who has conducted verification programs like this one for decades. HMS is a 40-year company with expertise in this process and has highly trained staff to make the project go as smoothly as possible for members.
The process will begin January 30th when HMS will send a confidential package to applicable members. In February a reminder notice will be sent to those who do not respond with their documentation. The final deadline is March 11th. Dependents of those who fail to respond will be removed from coverage as soon as administratively possible. Key points that enrolled employees should note: Only members with dependents need verification. If a member has no dependents, they will not receive any information and do not need to take any action.
A number of members whose dependents were verified beginning in October 2011 will not receive a packet from HMS as they have already been through a verification process.
Dependents may include: A legal spouse, registered or unregistered domestic partner, a child up to age 26. More information about who is a dependent will be in the HMS package.
The list of acceptable documents required to prove eligibility is extensive and should make the process somewhat easy for members. The package will include all the information needed to complete the verification process and will answer most questions.
HMS will also provide a hotline (855) 884-5469(855) 884-5469 from 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. PST Monday through Friday to answer member questions.
Informational Webinars
To help district, chapter leadership, labor representatives and members understand the verification process and to answer questions, HMS with CVT will conduct a series of webinars on the dates and times shown below. To participate in the webinar you or a member will only need to click on the link below on the date and time listed and follow the instructions there. Each session will take approximately one hour.

“One of the Best Financial Moves I’ve Ever Made.”
At the recent San Diego/Imperial Fall Leadership Conference, Catherine Drew of El Centro Secondary Teachers Association, shared the following comments about California Casualty:
One of the best financial moves I’ve ever made was to insure my family’s three cars, one scooter, and my home with California Casualty. Even with a string of three minor accidents in six months and two teenage drivers, California Casualty’s rates were better than I could find with other reliable companies – and yes, I shopped around.
Also my representative is knowledgeable, available, and a pleasure to work with.

Merced Union High School District Teachers Association Member, Elaine Tam, Wins $2,500 California Casualty Academic Award
California Casualty has presented a $2,500 Academic Award to Merced Union High School District Teachers Association member, Elaine Tam, for her class at Atwater High School in Atwater, California. Tam's name was randomly selected from a pool of more than 15,000 entries from around the nation.
Elaine Tam was all smiles when her name was announced as the latest California Casualty Academic Award winner during a back to school teacher staff meeting. Fellow teachers were present and pleased to see one of their own receive a check for $2,500 to use for school supplies and activities. When asked what she would do with the money, Elaine replied, "I will use it for transportation to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and if there's money left over, I will buy classroom supplies." Tam went on to say transportation has been a hindrance to field trips because of the high cost of bus charter services.

According to insurance industry research group LIMRA, 30 percent of U.S. households have no life insurance coverage. LIMRA's most recent Trends in Life insurance Ownership study also found that 40 percent of U.S. households said that they would have immediate trouble meeting everyday living expenses if the primary breadwinner died today.
September is Life Insurance Awareness Month, so take some time to check your own coverage and educate yourself about the options available to you as a CTA member.
