<p>My son dropped out of college at 19 and was dropped from my plan. This was in mid-2010. At the beginning of 2011, I was able to add him to my plan (but not dental as I learned to my $400 detriment) and he can stay on it till he is 26 as long as he is not employed somewhere that has a health plan available to him and he does not marry or have a child. My understanding is that your child can’t stay on your plan if their employer offers one that the child is eligible for but that might not be correct.</p>
<p>I believe that a child on a college plan can be added to the parents’ plan as well.</p>
