# Dependent Verification

> Admin queue for verifying or rejecting dependent documentation submitted by employees.

The Dependent Verification page is an admin queue for reviewing and acting on pending dependent verification requests. It is available at route `/hr/benefits/dependents/verification`.

## Overview

The page fetches pending dependent verifications from `usePendingDependentVerifications`. Each row shows: dependent name, relationship, date of birth, last four digits of SSN (if present), employee name, employee number, whether a document has been uploaded, and the creation date. A dropdown menu per row offers **View**, **Approve**, and **Reject** actions. Approving or rejecting opens a dialog prompting for optional verification notes; the action is submitted via `verifyDependent` from `useBenefitDependentMutation`.

## Who it's for

Requires permission `hr.benefits.admin`.

## Before you start

* Employees must have submitted dependent verification requests with uploaded documentation.
* Review your organization's documentation requirements before approving or rejecting.
