Dependent Child Reaches Age 24

When a dependent child reaches age 24, he or she is no longer eligible for most IU-sponsored dependent benefits, regardless of student status. Since the university has an internal means of identifying this change, the university initiates the following actions without notice from the employee when a child becomes ineligible:

  • The child's medical and dental coverage is discontinued
  • COBRA is offered
  • The child becomes ineligible for Fee Courtesy benefits, life insurance, and Personal Accident Insurance.

 To make changes to any of the plans listed immediately below, you will need to complete Step 1 the Change of Status form and Step 2 the subsequent personalized benefit enrollment form. Step-by-step instructions appear on the respective plan pages below. You must make the change within 60 days.
 
Personal Accident Insurance 
  • Decrease coverage level.
Tax Saver Benefit
    Health Care:
  • Decrease election if consistent with change.
    Dependent Care:
  • Decrease election if consistent with change.
(Consistency rule is satisfied if change corresponds with change of status that affects either eligibility for coverage under Plan or eligibility of expenses under applicable IRS regulations.)
