Dependent Eligibility
11/01/2008
Only eligible individuals may be enrolled in the ABX Health Plan. All enrolled individuals are subject to an audit and proof of eligibility can be required at any time. Enrolling individuals who are not eligible is insurance fraud and could result in you having to repay any paid claims, the loss of your job, and/or being arrested and convicted of a felony.
| Any dependents added during open enrollment require a document showing proof of eligibility (such as a birth certificate for a child or a marriage certificate for a spouse). Please provide proof of eligibility by sending photo copies of documents in the self addressed stamped envelope included in the packet. We cannot process your enrollment until we have received these documents. |

| Legal spouse. |
| Unmarried children under age 19, including your natural children, legally adopted children, children placed for adoption, stepchildren residing with you and any other children supported solely by you and permanently residing with you, provided you are their legal guardian or you claim the children as dependents for federal income tax purposes. |
| Unmarried children from age 19 until age 23 who are registered students in full time attendance at an accredited university or similar institution of learning and who are dependent on you for support and for whom you are entitled to an income tax exemption. |
| Unmarried child who is incapable of self-sustaining employment by reason of developmental disability or physical handicap, provided such child was covered under this Plan at the time of disability and immediately prior to his or her 19th birthday (23rd if a student). |
