OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

I sent my son's proof of coverage document into our HR department. I have asked them to provide any information that I will be required to provide to remove my son from the policy. I think I will ask if we have an appeal process!

Happyone00 I just cant believe they just don't take our word, I have not been there yet but at the end of this month is my renewal, I hope they don't give me the runaround. This all seems so pity. I'm hoping I get my letter soon though, I don't have the patience to deal with nonsense. Hope all goes well keep me informed and I will do the same and let you know what they tell me. Fingers crossed! Have a Great Day!

I am so frustrated with the whole mess. I will chalk this up to a $500 mistake. I should have notified my HR department within 60 days - no exceptions is what they are telling me. Good luck with your situation! :-)

Link didn't copy right, but was article from NY Times stating IRS will reject tax filings without heatlth insurancr disclosure again next year. Guessing you both will be claiming your sailors as dependents this year based on the percentage of the year they lived with you,so another reason to have paperwork in order.
