Points to Remember
- Annual dependent reverification for dependents on HII health plans begins in April.
- Initial verification for newly added dependents, either enrolled through Annual Enrollment or through a qualified life event, will be sent notices within 45 days of the enrollment/eligibility.
- Employees who need to verify (or reverify) dependents should receive a letter identifying who needs to be verified/reverified.
- Dependent verification notices can also be found on the Dependent Verification portal under the correspondence tab.
- Failure to verify or reverify necessary dependents prior to the deadline will result in the termination of benefits coverage for these individuals effective back to the original enrollment/eligibility date.

In this episode, we shine a spotlight on the HII Scholarship Fund — a program created in 2016 to help support the educational dreams of dependent children of HII employees. Individual award amounts range from $3,000 for selected students enrolled in a four-year college program to $1,500 for selected students enrolled in two-year programs; the post-secondary awards are renewable for recipients who remain in good academic standing. The fund also awards scholarships of up to $3,000 for pre-school education costs.
We break down who’s eligible, how the awards work, and why this fund continues to make a meaningful impact across HII. Administered independently by Scholarship America, the selection process is designed to be fair, equitable, and accessible to employees across the enterprise.
Whether you’re a parent exploring options for your child or simply interested in how HII invests in the next generation, this episode offers a clear and friendly overview of a benefit designed to make education more attainable for families.
