OVERAGE DEPENDENTS (Ages 19-25)

My medical and/or dental plan removed my child because I failed to provide the required documents showing he/she is a full-time student. What do I do? Will I have to wait until Annual Enrollment to re-enroll my child?

When the County is notified that your child is no longer eligible for coverage due to age or student status, your child will be removed from your coverage. Your child may continue health coverage under a Federal law known as COBRA. COBRA information will be automatically mailed to your child’s address.

If your child becomes a full-time student during the year, you may re-enroll your child in your health coverage by completing the following procedures below:

Enroll: Within 90 days of the date your child becomes a full-time student by going to the Web enrollment system at www.buckhrsolutions.com/countyla and selecting the Life Event link, or calling the telephone enrollment system at (888) 822-0487 and select “To make changes to your benefits” option from the Main Menu. Make sure you confirm your enrollment at the end of the process.

Submit: School verification (see below) by mail to: County of Los Angeles Benefits Plan Administrator, PO Box 67128, Los Angeles, CA 90067, or fax to: (310) 788-8775.

IMPORTANT: A valid school verification is a print out issued by your child’s school, and includes: the child’s name, school name, number of units currently enrolled, or a letter from a college or university indicating full-time student status. Make sure you write your employee number on each document.
