On BlueCross BlueShield of Illinois’ website they go over some details on the new Illinois health insurance law that became effective June 1st. The Young Adult Dependent Coverage Law which says if you have dependents meeting certain criteria you can extend their coverage under your current health insurance.
Eligibilty requirements for non-military dependents are being under 26 years old and unmarried. For military dependents you can be under 30, unmarried, an Illinois resident, and must have received a discharge other than dishonorable. For both categories you do not need to be enrolled as a full time student to receive the benefits.
This coverage may not apply to everyone and some dependents may need to meet additional requirements. If you believe this new law may benefit you, and you have questions contact BCBSIL for more information.
