Q.- A child of an employee is covered under our medical plan. The child will be turning age 26 in December 2013. She got married on July 2, 2013. Should we automatically remove her from our coverage since she is now married?

A.- No. Health care reform requires a plan that offers dependent coverage to offer coverage to adult children until age 26. This coverage must be available even if the adult child no longer lives with the parent, is not a dependent on the parent’s tax return, is no longer a student, or is married.
