Required Documentation

If you enroll a spouse and/or children in your coverage, you will need to provide the following documentation:

    Provide proof of dependent status — If you enroll a spouse, same-sex domestic partner and/or children in medical coverage, you must provide proof of their eligibility (e.g., marriage license, birth or adoption certificate, etc.) by the deadline. Otherwise, they won’t have coverage. After you enroll, look for a letter from the Dependent Verification Center in the mail with further instructions.

    Complete the spousal surcharge affidavit — If you enroll a spouse or same-sex domestic partner in medical coverage and you select “spousal surcharge does not apply,” you must complete this form by the deadline. After you enroll, look for a letter from the Caterpillar Benefits Center in the mail with further instructions.
