The Affordable Care Act allows for medical and prescription drug coverage for eligible child dependents (regardless of marital, student, or financial dependency status, residence, or eligibility for health benefits through an employer) until age 26: **A dependent child is removed from your medical/prescription plan on the last day of the calendar year he/she turns age 26 **For dental benefits, a dependent child is removed from your dental plan on the last day of the calendar year he/she turns age 23 When your child is about to age out of District plans, it is important that you notify Human Resources via email / x2009 to learn about continuing coverage options such as COBRA, the ACA Health Insurance Marketplace, or the New Jersey Chapter 375 / <31 Dependent (DU31) plan. Newborn children are automatically covered for 60 days from date of birth. To continue coverage beyond the initial 60 days, you must actively enroll your child in the District plan.
