I had a baby in early February and the plan originally was to put him on my BF's VA insurance but apparently we can't do that because he's a veteran and veteran insurance doesn't allow dependents. Weird but okay we'll add him to mine. I messaged our HRD and they informed me they would need a copy of his birth certificate within 30 days of his birth. The problem with that is we can't even request a copy of the birth certificate until 4 weeks after he's born and then we have to wait for the copy to come in the mail. I asked HRD if the affidavit of parentage form would suffice since it's notarized and they said no so I asked what happens if I don't get the birth certificate within 30 days and they advised we would have to wait until open enrollment which has already passed for this year. So basically my newborn would have no insurance for almost a year and we would have to pay thousands for his birth and appointments.
I was doing some research and apparently my son qualifies for medicaid because I was on pregnancy medicaid and I never would have known had my HRD not denied my request. So now his insurance is free and my employer is out over $200 a month. I've been getting emails from HRD asking if we got the birth certificate yet even though it's passed the 30 days. 🤷🏻♀️ Too late. Thanks for not caring about your employees at all
