Can I continue coverage for a covered dependent who has reached the regular age limit on the plan?
A. A covered dependent’s coverage may be continued beyond the regular age limit, if we receive written proof that the dependent is a full-time student at an accredited school; primarily dependent upon the employee for support and maintenance, unmarried, and under the dependent student age limit shown in the certificate. The best way to verify student status is to send us a letter from the school. The letter should contain the name of the student, the dates of the specific semester, and notation that the student is classified as a full-time student. We may also accept some other school notice, such as a class schedule providing it includes the information previously noted. We might require additional information if we cannot verify the student’s status.
