Q: What is SID?
A: This is your Student Identification Number. It must be one uppercase letter followed by 8 digits.
Q: In Section A, there are two columns. Where do I put the effective date of coverage?
A: In most instances, the date will be pre-populated. If it is not, enter the effective date under the “Effective Date/Date of Event” column.
Q: I did not enroll at the beginning of the year because I was covered under another policy. However, that policy has ended. What date should I use?
A: The date of the qualifying event (i.e. the date you involuntarily lost other coverage) will be the effective date. Please include the Certificate of Creditable Coverage with the application.
Q: When can I add my dependents?
A: You can add your dependents only when there is a qualifying event. This includes date of marriage, date of birth (for newborns), or date when other coverage is involuntarily lost.
