My son or daughter is a student and will turn 24 soon. What are his/her choices for coverage?
Dependent children are eligible for PEBB coverage through age 19. Eligibility may continue through age 23 if they are attending high school or are registered students at an accredited secondary school, college, university, vocational school, or school of nursing. Additionally, unmarried children age 20 through 24 may also be eligible as adult dependents; however, the state does not make a contribution toward the coverage of these adult dependents. PEBB dependents who lose eligibility may qualify for continued coverage; contact the Washington State Health Care Authority for more information. If your dependent no longer has PEBB coverage, please call 1-800-358-8815 to learn about Group Health’s Individual and Family plans.
