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.
When filing claims with ETF’s ICI administrator, The Hartford, employees should advise The Hartford that their employer is the State of Wisconsin—not their actual employer (such as City of ABC or State Agency XYZ).
