Does the Plan cover step-children?
Answer 25: If there is no decree establishing parental responsibility for medical insurance and the parent with custody remarries, the custodial parent’s plan remains primary; the step-parent’s plan is secondary. The plan of the natural parent without custody is last. Primary coverage for stepchildren is only provided in the event that no other person is obligated to provide insurance and no other insurance is available through the natural parents. Coverage for stepchildren terminates the last day of the month of the divorce or legal separation from the eligible Participant.
