A dependent may need to be added to Oracle under Family and Emergency Contacts

  • For adding a dependent child, you will need to add a birth certificate in Oracle under Document Records. 
  • For all dependents, you will need to add a social security number.

When does a life event need to be reported?  

A life event should be reported within 30 days of the date of the life event. Waiting to notify HR outside this 30-day window could cause a delay in coverage.
