It’s about time.

From the article:
“The
state last audited its health care member rolls in 2009. At that time, the
state sent letters to employees asking for income tax returns and other
supporting documents to verify dependents are still eligible for coverage.
The
administration at that time expected to find 10,000 to 15,000 ineligible
dependents with $185 million in projected savings. It ultimately uncovered
36,600 enrollees who should not have been receiving benefits, resulting in $400
million in savings over five years, according to the treasurer's office.”
It’s very sad that Former Governor Christie, someone that
supposedly ran to clean things up didn’t conduct this audit. Instead, the Christie administration
obstructed efforts in removing employees that did not belong on the rolls for
health plans administered by the State.
