SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Illinois parents will be able to continue using their health insurance to cover older dependent children beginning June 1. State insurance officials say the new law will allow adding children up to age 26. It’ll also allow military veterans to be covered by parents up to age 30. The child does not have to be enrolled in school. All policies must offer an initial 90-day enrollment period to eligible dependents. In most cases, preexisting conditions must be covered. ______ Copyright 2009 Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
