Can my 20 year old son continue to stay on my health insurance or does he have to get it through his new job?
I have carried my son on my private health insurance for many years. He has decided to take some time off from school and work a while. He started working a full time job about 6 weeks ago and will be eligible to get health insurance through his job after 90 days.
What are the guidelines for this situation? I worry that after a few months he'll decide he's made a bad choice and will want to quit this job and go on to school like I had hoped. In the meantime he's determined that he wants to work for a year or 2 and figure out what he wants to do with his life.
I don't know if he can just stay on my policy and not join the group health insurance at his job or not. Can you give me some guidance on this if you are familiar with the laws/rules regarding such a situation.
Any thoughtful advice is much appreciated!
I never said I carry him on my insurance at my job. I do not have insurance available through my job and I have had my own private coverage for years. Just as I stated in my question...
How do people arrive at such conclusions when the obvious is clearly spelled out!
Exactly why I asked for THOUGHTFUL answers!
So my question is, again, can he stay on my private insurance or is he required to join the plan at his job?
