Action required in Dependent Review 05/26/04
All those who receive a letter from Delta regarding their dependents who are receiving healthcare and flight benefits will need to respond to the letter by July 1 to verify their dependents’ eligibility. “We’ve had questions from those who assumed they just had to verify for themselves, that the dependents listed in the letter are correct,” said Leon Piper, v.p.-Worldwide Benefits and Health Resources. “In fact, however, everyone who receives the letter, including retirees, must mail-in the required documentation, such as tax records, birth certificates and proof of residency.” If participants don't respond to the letter or don't submit sufficient documentation, their dependents will be removed from coverage and cannot be enrolled for 2005 benefits during the fall open enrollment. Children who have been reported previously as nondependents are not part of the review process because they are not eligible for medical/dental coverage, and they will not be listed in the letter. Participants who have lost or discarded their letter should contact the Dependent Review Helpline toll-free at 877-232-4783 and request a duplicate. Allow 5-10 business days to receive the replacement.
Dependent Eligibility Review 05/18/04 Delta is reviewing all dependents currently listed as eligible for benefits coverage, including spouses and domestic partners. The goal of the review is to reduce the company’s cost of providing benefits by making sure that only those who are eligible are using Delta benefits. The savings, estimated to be as much as $13 million in healthcare costs alone, could help offset the increases that all Delta people, and the company, will pay for healthcare in 2005. Letters and a personalized eligibility worksheet will begin arriving the week of May 17th. If you have any specific questions about the Dependent Eligibility Review or about your dependent's eligibility, please call the Dependent Review Helpline
If you have misplaced your letter, documentation can be sent to:
