What does the health care bill mean for dependent children?
June 13th, 2010 | by Michael |
Allyse asked:
I just turned 23 last year and I am no longer covered under my parent’s insurance. I started paying for my own health insurance since I only work part time while attending school. I see that the new health care bill will allow dependent children to be covered under their parent’s insurance until age 26. Can I go back to being covered by my parent’s insurance as long as they claim me as a dependent?

Yes, you can be covered by your parent’s policy but I don’t know when that takes effect. I would contact the insurance agency.
