You are required at this time to submit records from the college/university.
The signed affidavit must be returned no later than February 12, 2008. If not returned by this date, your dependent's coverage will be terminated effective February 28, 2008. To download copies of the affidavits, please click here.

Once the appropriate documentation is received, the Trust will send you a confirmation letter.
