FAQ
Florida Statute §627.6562 allows medical coverage for dependents from the age of 26 through the end of the year in which they turn 30 years old (“Over-Age Dependent”) when certain eligibility requirements are met. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules permit tax-favored treatment for dependents up to age 27.
The child must be: (a) under age 19 at the end of the year and younger than you (or your spouse, if filing jointly), (b) under age 24 at the end of the year, a full- time student, and younger than you (or your spouse, if filing jointly), or (c) any age if permanently and totally disabled.
(a) “Dependent child” means any person, whether or not living with his or her parent, who is eligible to be claimed by his or her parent as a dependent under the federal income tax code.
To qualify as a dependent, your partner must have lived with you for the entire calendar year and listed your home as their official residence for the full year. If your partner has gross income above a certain amount ($5,050 for tax year 2024), you can't claim that person as a dependent.
Generally, the IRS requires that the child is under the age of 19 (or under 24 if a full-time student), lives with you for more than half the year, and does not provide more than half of their own financial support.

Your biological child, child with a qualified medical support order, legally adopted child, or child placed in the home for the purpose of adoption in ance with applicable state and federal laws through the end of the calendar year in which he/she turns age 26.
