Dear Members,

--- IMPORTANT ---

US Airways Health Plan Audit (See CBS Message below)

If you have received the "US Airways Health Plan Audit - Your Response is Required" packet in the mail recently, please do not ignore this information or throw this package out. This packet is a little different than the past packets, since the past benefits packets were amnesty packets or packets that did not require any feedback. This "Plan Audit" needs your attention because ALL dependents need to be "verified" by documentation proving your dependents eligibility. There is a list of accepted documents included in this packet (tax forms, w-4's, etc). If the employee does not verify the dependants by December 28th, 2005, the dependent(s) that are currently enrolled will be DROPPED from coverage and classified as INELIGIBLE. 

This important information needs your attention and should not be shoved into the corner of your "Bill Boxes" and forgotten, or tossed into the trash. 

Thank You,

Your MEC

HEALTH PLAN AUDIT

IMPORTANT: Failure to provide documentation to validate your dependents will result in your dependents being removed from your benefit plan.

The health plan dependent audit ends Wednesday, Dec. 28, 2005 and a high response is needed. To protect your family's health care benefits, review the eligibility checklist that was mailed to you, determine who is eligible, and mail copies of your documentation today. If you have questions about the audit, are unsure what documentation is needed or don't know whether you need to participate, please call the US Airways Dependent Verification Help Line at: (888) 326-7201, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (ET), Monday - Friday.

A reminder to those who have already responded: in order to satisfy the audit documentation requirement, you must provide documents proving both relationship and financial dependency.
