Disabled Dependents definition
Disabled Dependents. If you have an unmarried child of any age who is medically certified as disabled and is chiefly dependent on you for support and care because of mental impairment or physical disability, which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less then twelve months, that child may be an eligible dependent under this agreement. If you have a child whom you believe satisfies these conditions, you must call us to obtain the form necessary to verify the child’s disabled status and show proof of the disability. This form must be filled out and submitted to us. Periodically thereafter, you may be asked to show proof that this disabling condition still exists to maintain coverage as a dependent for this child.
