If you are an Agency Provider (AP) or a CDWA Individual Provider (IP) and have healthcare coverage through SEIU 775 Benefits Group (or you are eligible), you can enroll your dependent children (under the age of 26) in health and dental coverage at the full premium cost. The cost ranges from $686-$766 per month depending on your health plan, and is the same total cost whether you have 1 or more dependents enrolled. 

To add a dependent(s), you must:

  1. Fill out and submit the dependent section of the Health Benefits Application. 
  2. Provide a document that verifies your relationship to your dependent(s) within 60 days. You can do this by mail or using My Plan.
  3. Begin paying the full premium through payroll deduction. 

Postage is required when you mail, but submitting your Health Benefits Application is easy.
