Is proof of relationship required when family members apply for Tuition Remission?
When your spouse, registered domestic partner, or child applies for Tuition Remission for the first time, be prepared to provide a copy of their birth certificate, your marriage certificate or domestic partnership registration as proof of the relationship. You may register your domestic partner with the NYU Benefits Office, if you have not already done so. Their Social Security number will also need to be on record. When your dependent child applies for Tuition Remission for the first time, be prepared to submit a copy of their birth certificate and proof of dependency (e.g. a tax return). Note: A dependent child means your biological or legally adopted child, your stepchild, or the child of a registered domestic partner whom you claim as a dependent when filing income tax.
