Updating Personal Information

The employer must report any change in an employee’s personal information (versus what was reported on the employee’s enrollment form). This includes changes such as:

• Name – please report the employee’s new legal name.
• Address – please report any change in the employee’s mailing address, e-mail address and telephone number.
• Dependents – please report any changes in dependent information (e.g., the birth or death of a dependent).
• Marriage – please report the spouse’s full name and birth date, as well as the marriage date.
• Divorce – please report the ex-spouse’s full name, as well as the effective date of the divorce.
• Maintenance orders – please report any maintenance orders stemming from separation or divorce that affect an employee’s Silver Thatch pension. A maintenance order is a court directive that sets out how an employee’s assets are to be divided upon marriage breakdown.
• Death – please report the date of death.
