Report Link New Jersey Mandates Insurance Coverage for Dependents Under Age 30.
Littler Mendelson, P.C. - February 02, 2006
On January 12, 2006, former New Jersey Acting Governor Richard Codey signed into law a bill permitting eligible dependents under health insurance plans issued in New Jersey to remain eligible for continued health insurance coverage, until the dependent's 30th birthday. The law takes effect on May 12, 2006, and applies to medical insurance contracts or plans that are "delivered, issued, executed or renewed, or approved for issuance or renewal" in New Jersey after the law's effective date. Accordingly, this law will affect employers that provide employees with healthcare coverage through insurance polices issued in the State. It will not affect self-insured plans. This law seeks to remedy the problem faced by dependents whose coverage terminated at age 19, or 23, who are still living with their parents, and for whom a stand-alone health insurance policy would be very expensive.
