Soon, you’ll need to verify the dependents covered on your PG&E health benefits.

At PG&E, we strive to provide you and your family members with competitive and affordable health care coverage. An important part of controlling health care costs is ensuring that our roster for eligible employees, retirees and dependents is accurate and up-to-date.

To help ensure that every PG&E health care plan enrollee who receives benefits is eligible for those benefits, PG&E is working with Mercer to verify eligibility of the dependents covered under our health care plans.

 From July 24 – September 1, if you are covering dependents under PG&E’s health care plans, you will be asked to submit the necessary documentation for the enrolled dependents, which may include:

• Valid legal or religious marriage certificate
•  State-, County- or City-issued certificate of domestic partnership
• Child’s legal or hospital birth certificate
• Household utility bill

During the verification period, you can remove ineligible dependents without having to repay claims or premium costs.

Proof of eligibility for each dependent must be submitted by September 1, 2017. If required documentation is not received for your dependents, they will be removed from coverage as of October 1, 2017. 

Our goal is to verify all dependents without disrupting coverage for those who are eligible. No action is required now; however, to ensure your family’s benefits coverage is not disrupted, we recommend that you locate the required documentation now. Starting July 24, you’ll be able to upload your documentation via secure portal, fax or mail. Mercer will send you additional details and instructions in a dependent eligibility verification packet in the next few weeks.
