You must provide proof of dependent eligibility for any newly enrolled dependents. Acceptable proof of dependent status includes:

- First page of tax return listing the name and Social Security number of the dependent (black out any unrelated information).

- Your legal spouse.
- Your children under age 26, including:
- Natural children or children of your spouse while the marriage continues and there is no legal separation;
- Adopted children; and
- Children for whom you are the legal guardian.
