Can I cover my spouse and children?
If family coverage is offered by your employer, you have the opportunity to cover your spouse and children. In both cases, coverage must be included with employee coverage.
For spouse coverage, benefit amounts can be specified in your plan design for up to 100% (or 50% in some states) of the employee benefit amount. Your spouse can keep coverage as long as you keep yours, no matter where (or if) you work.
For children, coverage is available for eligible dependents, which may include stepchildren, legally adopted children and grandchildren, age birth through 26 years. Benefit amounts can be selected in increments of $1,000 up to $10,000, and up to 100% (or 50% in some states) of the employee benefit amount. Coverage ends when employee policy ends or when children turn 19 (or 26 if full-time students). At the time, children can purchase an individual policy, not to exceed the original children’s benefit amount.
