Dependent Child Status Or Disability Status
The City’s Plan allows coverage for dependent
children to the end of the calendar year in which the dependent
child becomes age 19. Employees who have a dependent child who
became 19 years old in 2007 will be requested by UnitedHealthcare
to provide proof of full-time student status.
Additionally, an employee who has a dependent
child who is totally disabled and over age 19 must submit proof
of total disability to UnitedHealthcare within 31 days of attainment
of age 19. Coverage beyond age 19 is not guaranteed unless proof
of dependent status can be verified.
Both of these situations also apply if an employee
covers their dependent child on the life insurance.
Please contact the Employee Benefits Section
at 622-3200 if you have any questions.
