 Coverage of Dependents to Age 26, Special Enrollment Rights and Model Language
As most of you know, PPACA requires that group health plans begin covering dependents until age 26. This requirement goes into effect on the first day of the first plan year after September 23, 2010. For some plans this will be as early as October 1, 2010. The requirement applies to ALL plans, and carries with it specific regulations, timeframes, notice requirements and more.
