To help these dependents, we're working in collaboration with the US Department of Health and Human Services and state regulators to allow young men and women to remain on their parents' policies even before this health care reform provision takes effect. Beginning June 1, we will continue to provide health benefits to dependents who - because of their age, student status or other factors - would lose coverage during the gap period between June 1, 2010, and the September 23, 2010, effective date. This extension of coverage will not be retroactive; however, dependents that aged out before June 1, 2010, can be added back onto a parent's policy during your group's next open enrollment period on or after September 23 in accordance with the new law.
