Summary

Do you cover a family member for benefits? Here’s what you need to know about the upcoming Dependent Verification:

  • Pinellas County Human Resources and a third-party vendor, Impact Interactive, are conducting a Dependent Verification, starting January 13, 2025, to ensure our plans only cover those eligible for coverage, to comply with legal requirements.
  • This is a verification of all dependents on County medical and/or dental plans.
  • You need to answer questions about your dependents and submit documents to verify their eligibility.
  • The deadline is February 28, 2025.
  • See Dependent Verification Instructions for step-by-step instructions.
  • If you don’t submit documentation or your dependent is not eligible, Impact Interactive will notify you in March 2025 that your dependents will be removed from the benefit plan. If this happens, we recommend contacting FEDlogic which helps retirees navigate federal and state benefits.

Impact Interactive

We are partnering with an independent healthcare auditing firm, Impact Interactive, to handle the verification process. No confidential information will be shared outside of Impact Interactive and the Benefits team.
