Human Resources began the document verification process. All uploaded documents will be addressed and dependents “un-pended”. Employees will be contacted by HR if there are any issues surrounding their uploaded document(s). Employees have until 12/31/18 to upload the required documents.

After you upload your information and want to permanently delete the documents from your desk top, please see this link for instructions.

IMPORTANT UPDATE REGARDING UPLOADING MARRIAGE / BIRTH CERTIFICATES

After much consideration, Human Resources has decided to offer a second option for uploading required information into the DirectPath online enrollment tool.

As communicated in previous emails, written material and verbally, an employee who is covering a dependent child or a spouse on either their medical and/or dental and/vision insurance will be required to upload a birth certificate or adoption paperwork for the child or a marriage certificate for a spouse for verification of eligibility.

Human Resources, in conjunction with the Office of General Counsel, has created a second option: an HR signed and witnessed affidavit. There will be a specific affidavit for both a birth certificate/adoption paperwork as well as a marriage certificate. If you elect this option, you will be responsible for filling out the required information prior to coming into Human Resources for official verification. Upon verification, it is the employee’s responsibility to upload the completed affidavit(s) to the DirectPath system by Dec. 31, 2018.

This alternate verification process can only be completed in person and on the dates and times listed below

Dates and times authorized HR personnel will be available:

Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9am – 4pm starting on November 5^th through December 20, 2018 in Straz Tower Room 185.

Health Savings Accounts (HSA): EBC and Avidia Bank will no longer administer Marquette's HSA benefits as of 1/1/19.
