Dependent Child Turns 19
Your child's 19th birthday may not seem like a huge milestone, but there is one major change affecting your benefits under the Health & Welfare Trust. Dependents who are age 19 to 24 must provide proof of full-time student status on a form supplied by the Trust Office to retain Welfare coverage. This evidence must be supplied twice a year.

Students must send in their school schedule every semester or quarter if they wish to retain coverage. If the schedule is not submitted to the Trust office, a COBRA notice will be sent. |

If you do not supply evidence of student status or if your child is no longer a student, the child may be eligible for COBRA Continuation Coverage for up to 36 months. |
| |
If your child becomes totally disabled prior to turning age 19, the child may be eligible to continue as a dependent under your coverage. |
