Coverage for Dependent Children to Age 26

To avoid possible penalties, businesses subject to the employer mandate must provide health coverage to a dependent adult child through the end of the month in which he or she attains age 26. If coverage extends beyond the 26th birthday, the value of the coverage can continue to be excluded from the employee’s income for the full tax year (generally a calendar year) in which the adult dependent child turns 26.
