I just got a job that offers health benefits, but my parents’ health insurance plan is better and less expensive to me. Can I stay on my parents’ plan?
Yes, you can stay on your parents’ plan up to age 26 if they have coverage through work, or until the end of the year you turn 26 if they have Marketplace coverage. Eligibility for health benefits through your own job does not make you ineligible to be covered as a dependent on your parents’ plan.
