As a reminder, Open Enrollment has been extended through November 17, 2026, and everyone must complete their elections in Dayforce, even if you plan to waive coverage.
We’ve received a few questions regarding the Dependent Verification section in Dayforce, particularly when documentation shows an “Under Review” status.
Please note:
- Your 2027 Open Enrollment elections are complete once you submit them in Dayforce.
- An “Under Review” status for dependent verification does not prevent your enrollment from being completed.
- Dependent verification is a separate process, and we will have more information on that in 2027.
- SMP’s Dependent Eligibility Audit is planned for 2027, but there is currently no established start date.
- No immediate action is required regarding Dependent Verification. We wanted to provide ample notice to everyone with a dependent on our plan, so they are aware during Open Enrollment. That is all.
If you have not yet uploaded documentation for your covered dependents, we encourage you to do so when convenient. Providing documentation now may help make the future audit process easier and limit outreach. Examples of acceptable documentation include:
- Marriage certificate for a spouse
- Birth certificate for a child
- Adoption paperwork
- Court-issued guardianship documents
- Court decree
Before the dependent eligibility audit begins, we will provide additional communications, instructions, and reminders to affected participants.
