CA- missed open enrollment @ work

Hi.

Through VEBA (California Teachers Association), I had to submit new proof to cover my dependent for health insurance by Dec. 16. For some reason, I didn't see the notices as they were sent the same week of Thanksgiving, and the last notice was sent last week (while I was traveling). To be honest, it was probably my oversight because I'm dealing with stressful family events.

Anyway, the benefits department at my school (in the last notice on Dec. 15) stated that the new proof was needed by Dec. 16 (because they were closing until Jan.3), and obviously I didn't send the proof on time. I did send it today, to both the closed benefits department and to the VEBA administrator (McGregor Inc.). I'm hoping to get this resolved directly through VEBA before Jan. 1 so my dependent isn't canceled from my health insurance. I've been trying to contact VEBA but no luck, so just waiting for their confirmation.

Thanks.
