Updated Employer Verification of Health Insurance Coverage (ET-4814) Form for Local Employers

ETF has updated the Local Employer Verification of Health Insurance Coverage (ET-4814) form. This update means that local employers will no longer collect the forms from employees and survivors that want to continue health insurance coverage after the employee retires or dies.
