Age Requirements for Dependent Coverage

Blue Cross Blue Shield Health 

  • There are no dependent eligibility requirements from newborns to age 26 (Federal law).

  • Florida’s over-age extended coverage dependent mandate law allows coverage until the end of the year when they reach 30. However, this comprehensive coverage does have Federal Income Tax ramifications.

  • Please get in touch with your Personnel department to see how this will affect you.

  • Dependent eligibility requirements are: A covered dependent child may continue coverage beyond the age of 26, provided they are: Unmarried and does not have a dependent;

  1. A Florida resident or a full-time or part-time student,
  2. Not enrolled in any other health coverage policy or plan;
  3. They are not entitled under Title XVII of the Social Security Act unless the child is a disabled dependent child.

Health Insurance

Clay County offers three medical plan options to help you select the coverage that is best for you and your family.  

Blue Options: A PPO that offers access to a “preferred” provider network of physicians, specialists, and hospitals.  

Blue Options HSA:  A high-deductible health plan with lower premiums and a higher deductible than the PPO plans. Under IRS regulations, a health savings account is established to set aside money to pay for eligible health care expenses. In 2020, the County has committed to making the same contribution towards the Health Savings Account (HSA) deductible for all eligible employees based on their level of coverage. For a single employee, the County contributes up to $1,050; for a family, the County contributes up to $2,100, currently 50% of the in-network deductible for the plans.  

*Note: If enrolling in this plan, you must open an HSA at VyStar Credit Union within 90 days.
