Employee benefits: Adding 23- to 26-year-olds to medical/dental

If you have a child aged 23-26 whom you would like to add to your medical/dental insurance coverage, now is the time to enroll them (deadline is March 18). The Health Care Reform law allows dependents to be covered regardless of student or marital status, even if they have other coverage at their own employer.

To add your child, you must complete the enrollment form for Pioneer or Kaiser (available on this web page). We cannot add your child based on an e-mail or phone request. By enrolling your child, you are committing to this coverage for one year (through March 31, 2012) unless your child becomes eligible for other coverage through their own or a spouse’s employer (and then you will only be allowed to stop their coverage if you tell us within 30 days of the other coverage start date).
