This information is for finance professionals of local employers who participate in the WPE Group Health Insurance Program and who are accountable for financial reporting under GASB Statement 75, “Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions.”
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. Coverage now continues automatically, and employees and survivors only need to complete the form to cancel coverage.
Employers should always protect member personal identifiable information. What counts as personal member information? How can employers protect sensitive data? ETF has published a new training video that helps answer these questions.
