Dependent Students: Status Update

When a dependent child reaches the age of 21 and continues full-time studies at a recognized post-secondary educational institution, it may be necessary to provide the insurer with proof of school attendance in order to maintain eligibility for health or dental insurance coverage.

Dependent eligibility criteria vary by insurance contract. Please refer to your group insurance documentation for the specific conditions that apply to your coverage.

How to Update Student Status

The process for updating student status varies from one insurer to another and may include online confirmation, submission by mail, automatic renewal, reminders sent to insured members, validation by the plan administrator, and other procedures. In addition, proof of enrollment may be required:

• Each term
• Each year
• According to other specific requirements

We encourage you to refer to your group insurance contract to learn about the process applicable to your plan. To quickly access your insurer’s platform, please visit the Resources section of our website.
