MINNESOTA MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET
Notice of Collection of Private Data
Minnesota Management and Budget administers the State Employee Group Insurance Program (SEGIP). This notice ex-
plains why we may request information (data) about you, your dependents and beneciaries, how we will use it, who will
see it, and your obligation to provide that information.
What information will we use?
We will use the information you provide us at this time, as well as information you have previously provided us about
yourself, your dependent(s), and/or your beneciary. If you provide any information about yourself or your dependent
or beneciary that is not necessary, we will not use it for any purpose.
SEMA4, the information system used to administer employee benets, contains required information elds that may
not be necessary for us to process your request. We do not need the gender or marital status for your beneciary
designation, so you may enter “unknown” in these elds. We only need your dependent’s date of death to process a
death benet claim or to discontinue the dependent’s coverage due to his or her death. Student status and disability
status are needed only to determine eligibility for insurance continuation for your dependent. We only need your
dependent’s social security number to oer insurance continuation or process a death benet.
Why we ask you for this information?
We ask for this information to process your request to add or change coverage for yourself, your dependent or a ben-
eciary. The requested information helps us to determine eligibility, to identify you and your dependents and bene-
ciaries, and to contact you or your dependents and beneciaries. We use the information so that we can successfully
administer SEGIP, including analyzing unidentiable aggregate data to develop new programs and ensure current
programs are eectively and eciently meeting member needs. We may ask for information about you that we have
already collected, including all or part of your social security number, in order to ensure we are matching you to the
correct change request or other insurance benet transaction.
Do you have to answer the questions we ask?
You are not legally required to provide any of the information requested.
What will happen if you do not answer the questions we ask?
If you do not answer these questions, the insurance benet transaction you requested for you or your dependent or oth-
er insurance benet transaction may be delayed or denied.
Who else may see this information about you and your dependents and beneciaries?
We may give information about you and your dependents and beneciaries to the insurance carrier you have chosen,
SEGIP’s representatives, vendors, The State of Minnesota’s actuary, the Legislative Auditor, the Department of Health,
any law enforcement agency or other agency with the legal authority to the information, and anyone authorized by a
court order. In addition, the parents of a minor may see information on the minor unless there is a law, court order, or
other legally binding instrument that blocks the parent from that information. We can use or relates this information
only as stated in this notice unless you give your written consent to authorize release of the information to another per-
son/entity, or if Congress or the Minnesota Legislature passes a law allowing or requiring us to release the information
