A covered dependent loses eligibility on the last day of the pay period during which:

  • You become ineligible to receive County benefits
  • Your child attains age 26; an exception is a qualified child who is permanently mentally or physically disabled that is reliant on you for more than half of their financial support
  • The final decree of divorce is granted or Domestic Partnership termination with the State

Note: Your former spouse must be deleted from your medical, dental and/or vision plan coverage even if the divorce settlement requires you to provide coverage. Your former spouse/registered domestic partner will be eligible for COBRA if you provide notice of your divorce/dissolution of domestic partnership within 60 days of the event date.
