What dependents qualify for coverage under their parents policy?
Under the new law (Affordable Health Care Act): • Children do not have to live with the enrolled parent, be financially dependent on the enrolled parent, or be students to remain covered until age 26. • Children are covered under the enrolled parent’s Self and Family enrollment even if they are eligible for or have their own employer-provided health insurance coverage. • Children are not required to have any form of continuous health insurance, such as Temporary Continuation of Coverage, leading up to the effective date of their eligibility. • If your child has a spouse and/or children, the spouse and/or children are not eligible family members under your Self and Family enrollment. • For children who converted to an individual policy, they may no longer need that policy once they resume coverage under your Self and Family enrollment. If you have an Self Only policy, you will follow the procedures to change to Self and Family coverage during Open Season.
