How is the monthly cost calculated for child(ren) coverage?
Additional costs of children are based on the age of the youngest child and the ages of both spouses and therefore varies. Example: Retiree, age 43, spouse age 41, and a youngest child 10, the monthly cost factor is .00055. Multiply this factor by the base amount and you get the additional cost for child coverage. As you can see, child cost is minimal and should never be turned down.Question 4.
