How can I ensure that coverage for my full-time student age 19 or older does not lapse between terms?

To have coverage between terms, your child must be enrolled for the next quarter or semester and continue to be claimed as a dependent on a parent’s taxes. To prevent your child’s coverage from lapsing between quarters or semesters, update the Trust records as soon as you enroll your child for a new term. You can do this by emailing or by calling the Eligibility department at (206) 282-4500 or (800) 225-7620.

What should I do if I do not have my ID card yet?

You should have your Sound Health & Wellness Retiree Trust ID within 3 weeks of when you first become eligible for benefits. If you have been eligible for more than 3 weeks and you have not received your ID card in the mail, please call us at (206) 282-4500 or (800) 225-7620.

What do I do if my address changes, if I get married, divorced, have a child or adopt a child?
