Childbirth/Adoption
Having a new child may provide opportunities for you and your family to
obtain or change health coverage. Having a child may also affect your current group
health plan coverage. For instance, if you are currently covered under COBRA
continuation coverage, your adopted child or newborn can be covered by
the same plan
even
though the child was not covered by the plan prior to the qualifying event,
so long as the plan rules
provide coverage for dependent children. Knowing your options and understanding
your rights can help you obtain the coverage you need.
