Sales Manager, Insphere Insurance Solutions, Tampa Bay, Florida
Under the Affordable Care Act, if your plan covers children, you can add or keep your children on your health insurance policy until they turn 26 years old. There is one temporary exception: Until 2014, "grandfathered" group plans do not have to offer dependent coverage up to age 26 if a young adult is eligible for group coverage outside their parents plan.
Also, I would check with the state in which you live. For example, Florida enacted legislation in 2008 that allows dependent children to continue their dependent coverage up to the end of the calendar year in which they turn 30 years old, based on eligibility guidelines.
