Dependents Ages 19 – 26

To be in compliance with the Affordable Care Act the hourly bargaining unit employees will be able to cover dependents until the end of the month they turn 26 years old. 

Please be mindful that if your dependent has dual coverage (coverage through Chrysler and another healthcare provider) it is their responsibility to check with the other healthcare provider to see what their rules are regarding coverage. If a dependent's parents both work at Chrysler, then that dependent can only be covered by one parent (they cannot have dual Chrysler coverage). Also, if a dependent works at Chrysler and is also covered by a parent who works at Chrysler, they must choose whether they want to be covered under their own healthcare coverage or their parent's healthcare (they cannot have dual Chrysler coverage).

When you add a dependent you will receive a letter from Benefit Connect stating that you will have to verify that dependent. If you do not verify your dependent, the dependent will be dropped. You can bring your letter and the appropriate documentation to the Benefits office, and we will fax the documentation to Benefit Connect.   It is your responsibility to remove dependents when they become ineligible. Dependents are not dropped automatically!
