Domestic Partner Information

eFunds offers coverage to both same sex and opposite sex domestic partners. They can be covered under the medical, dental, vision and supplemental life insurance options.

Because the IRS does not recognize domestic partners as qualified dependents, there are a couple of exceptions to be noted regarding their coverage:

• The portion of the premium you pay for their coverage will be taken from your paycheck on an after-tax basis.
• If you should loose your coverage through eFunds, domestic partners are not given the opportunity to continue those benefits under COBRA.

The annual open enrollment period is the only time a domestic partner may be added to your benefits, other than your 31-day new hire election period. There are three steps during the open enrollment period that you will need to take to ensure they are covered:

1. Enter the personal data into our system via eServe
2. Elect coverage for them via eServe
3. Provide an Affidavit of Domestic Partnership within the published deadline


• Affidavit of Domestic Partnership
• Termination of Domestic Partnership
