[QUOTE="slsh, post: 408621, member: 8"] Nancy, we took thank you off when he hit 18 and dropped out of school, because at that time the law said he had to be a full time student. I called this year to see if we could put him back on and our HR dept told us that in order for us to put him back on there, we have to be providing at least 50% of his support and he has to live here 50% of the time (under the new law). So that's a no-go. Even if she's on your insurance, that [U]does not[/U] make you responsible for her medical bills. She's an adult - it's her problem. She would probably qualify for Medicaid, but you probably are having as much luck as we are getting her to sign up for it. thank you's uninsured right now - when I think about it, it terrifies me. He's been in 3 major car accidents as a passenger in the last 6 months. At least one of those times he should have been checked out at the ER given the nasty seat belt bruises that were still there 3 weeks later - he refused medical tx. I have no control. I have no say. He will either get his act together or not. I would have gladly put him on our insurance if we could have, just for my own peace of mind. But... he seems completely unconcerned about it, despite my prodding every time he calls with a symptom (knee pain, back pain, etc). I have to let it go. Personally? I'd keep her on as long as you legally can. [/QUOTE]
