Q: What happens if there is a change in student dependent status?
A:
If your child aged over 21 stops studying, goes to part-time study, gets married, or starts earning over the tax-free threshold, you need to tell us in writing as they can no longer be covered under your standard family membership.
Your child can choose to have their own policy, with no waiting periods, provided they join with ACA Health within one month of coming off your membership.
Alternatively, the Dependent Extension product allows unmarried children over the age 21 and under 25 years who are no longer studying full-time, to stay on the Family Membership.
The extension option is available for;
- Deluxe Hospital and Complete Ancillary
- Deluxe Hospital and Ancillary Lite
- Private Hospital and Complete Ancillary
- Private Hospital and Ancillary Lite
- Bare Essentials and Complete Ancillary
