Notice Regarding Changing Medical and Prescription Plan Eligibility
Potential savings on coverage for eligible dependents through New Jersey's Chapter 375 Dependent Benefits legislation
Recently, the State of New Jersey has enacted legislation that extends eligibility for medical and prescription drug coverage for certain dependents. Under this regulation, your dependent may be eligible to maintain coverage under your benefit plan to their 30th birthday. Your dependent may be eligible for these extended benefits (called "Chapter 375 Dependent" benefits) and, if so, should register as soon as possible to minimize any potential coverage gap. Please click here for more information.
