Major medical plans that offer dependent coverage are required to make coverage available for an employee’s child until the child’s 26th birthday, regardless of the child’s residency, financial dependence, student status, employment, or other factors. In addition, an applicable large employer (ALE) subject to the ACA pay or play mandate will face potential penalties if they do not offer coverage to full-time employees and any dependent children.
