Assurant Employee Benefits says it will extend dental coverage for adult children of an insured parent up to age 26, effective July 1.
The extension helps prevent potential gaps in coverage, the company says.
Under the change, an adult child under age 26 of a parent covered by Assurant will no longer be required to be a full-time student or claimed on the parent's federal income tax return to be covered under the parent's plan, according to Assurant Employee Benefits, Kansas City, Mo., a unit of Assurant Inc., New York.
