Adult child eligibility
Upon the renewal of your school's WEA Trust health and/or dental plan, the following adult child eligibility requirements become effective:
Under the new federal health care reform law, your married or unmarried adult child is eligible for coverage under your WEA Trust health plan until the end of the month in which he or she turns age 26.
Under the Wisconsin mandate, your adult child is eligible for coverage under your WEA Trust health and/or dental plan if he or she is:
- 27 years of age or younger.
- Not married.
- Not eligible for health insurance under an employer-sponsored plan with a required contribution that is less than your cost to cover your child under your Trust plan.
In addition, children older than age 27 may still be covered under your Trust health plan if they were attending school as a full-time student and were called to active military duty when they were under the age of 27.
To remain covered by the Trust, dependents must meet the coverage criteria described above. To verify that this criteria is met, subscribers must complete a form for each type of coverage a dependent has with the Trust (e.g., health and/or dental) and return it to us.
