Under the new law, young adults
will be allowed to stay on their parent's plan until they turn 26 years old.
(In the case of existing group health plans, this right does not apply if the
young adult is offered insurance at work.) Some insurers began implementing
this practice early. Check with your insurance company or employer to see if
you qualify. Effective for health plan years beginning on or after September
23, 2010. Click here to learn more!
