Share This Post

Brothers & Sisters,

This notice is for Production , Skilled Trade members and Retiree’s who have overage dependents on their Green Shield (GSC) Coverage, that will have recently received an Audit letter asking if their over-age dependent child (Age 19 and over) , is unmarried and in full time attendance at school.

An over-age dependent child with full-time attendance at school shall remain eligible for benefit coverage until the end of the year in which he/she attains age 25.

Due to the ongoing Postal Strike, it is highly recommended that you email your completed audit form with required documentation (as indicated below) , prior to the December 1st deadline.
