Why is the spouse's information needed?
Marital information allows myVRS Navigator to alert employees to optional benefit programs available for family members.

If an employee applies for this coverage within 30 days of employment or a qualifying event, coverage is guaranteed. myVRS Navigator will alert employees to this benefit and remind them of the deadline to apply.
