From 01-01-2018 on all of our benefit options, the age of child dependents will be limited to 21 years of age.  [Previously 23]  The only exception will be for groups like the US embassy that have specific age requirements in their contracts with us.

Definitions will therefore be as follows as from 1 January 2018: 

Individual members:

“We accept children as child dependents up to the age of 21.  Once a child turns 21, the subscription fee for that child will automatically change to the fee of on adult dependent, for the month following the birthday month.”

Group members:

“We accept children as child dependents up to the age of 21.  Once a child turns 21, the subscription fee for that child will automatically change to the fee of on adult dependent, for the month following the birthday month, unless contractually specified differently or if the group should prefer the child to rather be terminated as a dependent.”
