A reader leaves this clever comment on my post about Corporate's new demand, seeking documents proving relatives are eligible for Gannett health insurance: "Having a marriage license does not prove I am still married. Having a birth certificate does not prove someone is still alive, or still a member of the family. Those things document something that happened in the past, but do not necessarily reflect the way things are now. Presumably, I could have been insuring my ex for all these years, if possession of a marriage license proves a marriage exists."Join the debate, here in the post.
Why is this a clever comment. Once you have the document, you can first determine if it's real and then next determine if represents the actual state of current affairs.
ReplyDeleteThe second point on this is that if someone is falsifying documentation, they've just committed an additional fraud well beyond simply adding someone onto Gannett's health care plan.
The third point on this is that, although it doesn't state it specifically, Gannett is offering clemency for those who request that ineligible dependents be taken off of the plan.
You worry me sometimes with your reasoning and seeming lack of understanding of your former employer and how its business or business in general, works.
