UC is conducting its annual random audit of employees, retirees and their family members enrolled in UC-sponsored health and welfare plans. This audit is required by UC plan regulations and helps ensure that family members enrolled in health and welfare plans are fully eligible for coverage as described in UC's Group Insurance Eligibility Factsheet [PDF].

The University incurs significant costs to provide group insurance coverage for employees and their family members. To ensure that only those who are truly eligible for coverage are enrolled and to meet health contract obligations, UC must verify family member eligibility.

A randomly selected percentage of all UC members enrolled in UC-sponsored health plans has received a letter requesting that they provide documentation of their family members' eligibility.
