NYSHIP Young Adult Option Coverage for Employees & Retirees of NYS
Young Adult Option Age 26-29
New York State law (Chapter 240 of the Laws of 2009) allows a young adult child up to age 30 to purchase coverage through his/her parent's group health insurance policy. This notice provides information about NYSHIP's Young Adult Option and compliance with the law.
The Young Adult Option is for medical coverage only; dental and vision coverage is not included. Under the law, the young adult's coverage is subject to all terms of the group policy; however, premiums are to be paid by the young adult or his/her parent, not the employer. The premium is the full cost of individual coverage for the NYSHIP option selected.
Eligibility Criteria
The Young Adult Option is available to young adults who meet all of the following eligibility requirements:
- Be a child, adopted child, or stepchild of a NYSHIP enrollee (including those enrolled under COBRA)
- Be age 29 or younger
- Be unmarried
- Not be insured by or eligible for coverage through the young adult's own employer-sponsored health plan, whether insured or self-funded, provided that the health plan includes both hospital and medical benefits
- Live, work or reside in New York State or the plan's service area
- Not be covered under Medicare
