NOTE: If you enroll in health coverage for a dependent (spouse, life partner or child), you will be required to verify that your enrolled dependents meet eligibility rules under REI’s health plan. This process will be managed by our third-party vendor, Verifi1. Failure to provide sufficient documentation within the given time frame will result in the removal of your dependent(s) from REI sponsored health care coverage. If it is determined that a dependent does not meet the eligibility requirements as defined by our plan, the dependent(s) will be removed from the REI-sponsored health care coverage. See Benefits Eligibility for more details.
