This is Important: Do It Now!

Do not put off action on the letter you received about verification of your dependents who are covered under the State Employee Group Insurance Plan. As I read it, the required documents must be received by HMS Employer Solutions by October 25th.

Also note that you cannot just copy the front page of your 2012 tax return. The Federal Tax Return Transcript is something that has to come from IRS. Read question #13 for instructions. I did not try the phone number, but  the web site request worked. However, it will take 7-10 days at best to get the form back to you.

If you feel that you cannot get the paperwork submitted in time, there is an opportunity to request an extension. Depending on whether these particular IRS employees are working and how fast they can get these forms to us, we may all need to request an extension--see question #10.

So don't delay!
