Coverage for Adult Children Under Age 26 Effective July 1, 2011
Effective July 1, 2011, the State Group Health Insurance Plan (GHIP) will include coverage for adult children up to age 26. Your adult dependent children may be enrolled in the plan, up to age 26, with no requirement or restriction on marital, employment, student, resident or tax status. In other words, you may enroll an otherwise eligible adult child, up to age 26, whether or not the child is married, employed, a student, a tax eligible dependent or living with you.* Coverage of eligible adult children may continue until the end of the month in which the adult child turns age 26.
* The new federal health insurance law relating to dependent coverage of children requires the State of Delaware to offer group health coverage to an employee’s children who have not reached age 26.
