If you're an official retiree, not only are you eligible for health benefits but your dependents may be, too.
Eligible dependents include your:
- Spouse, same or opposite sex, if not legally separated
- Registered domestic partner
- Children up to age 26, including:
- Natural children
- Stepchildren
- Legally adopted children
- Children for whom you are the legal guardian
- Foster children
- Children placed with you for adoption
- Children of your registered domestic partner who depend on you for support and live with you in a regular parent/child relationship
- Unmarried children for whom you are legally responsible to provide health coverage under the terms of a Qualified Medical Child Support Order (QMCSO)
- Unmarried children over the age limit if they are dependent on you for primary financial support and maintenance due to a physical or mental disability*, incapable of self-support, and the disability existed before reaching age 19
*You may be asked to provide documentation or proof of disability to your medical plan provider for review and approval of continued coverage. In most cases, coverage for a disabled child can continue as long as the child is incapable of self-support, unmarried and fully dependent on you for support.
