If an employee named in a NMSN is not already enrolled in the plan’s dependent health care coverage, what is the plan administrator’s obligation?
Once the NMSN is determined to be qualified, the plan administrator begins the enrollment process to provide coverage to the child. As long as the employee is eligible to participate in the plan, the child must be covered. If, as a condition for covering his dependents, the employee must be enrolled, the plan administrator must enroll the employee and each child named in the NMSN.
