How do I add my new wife or child to my insurance?

There are two ways:

You can download & print the Subscriber Information Update.
Call the Fund office at 316-264-2339 in Wichita, or 1-800-423-6517 everywhere else, and we will mail you out the form.

Follow the instructions on the form, making sure you list all eligible dependents (please see page 2 in your SPD for a description), complete the bottom portion of the form, and sign it!

If you are adding a dependent, we must have supporting documentation (i.e. marriage certificate, birth certificate, adoption papers, etc.)

If you are removing dependents (i.e., divorce), we need a complete copy of your divorce decree, including any child/medical support orders & property settlements.

Then mail it to: H & W Fund, 505 S Broadway, Ste. 117, Wichita, KS 67202-3922

I was recently divorced. Do you need a copy of my divorce decree & why??

First of all, we need to remove your spouse and any step-children from your insurance. The only way we can do that is if you send us a complete copy of your divorce decree, including any child/medical support orders & property settlements, along with a completed Subscriber Information Update. Until that is done, you, the member, will be responsible for any claims that are paid in error.
Doing this NOW will alleviate any delays when you retire as you will not be able to receive any of your retirement money until we receive your divorce decree & determine whether any money should be paid to an alternate payee.

Why won't Blue Cross or Delta change my address or add/delete my dependent(s)?

Blue Cross Blue Shield of KS & Delta Dental of KS have been instructed not to make any changes to your membership unless WE tell them too. This way, we make sure that we have the most current information.

I gave this information to the Union Hall. Why do I have it give it to you too?

The Union Hall and the Fund Office are 2 separate offices. Please inform our office at the time you inform the Union Hall. This will insure the changes will be done in a timely matter.

Contact the Fund Office.
