Military Delaying Student Status

[Guest Benefit Specialist]

I think that I remember in the last year a new law being passed that if a dependent delays going to college to go to the military, then they get an additional time period to remain on their parents coverage when they do return home and enter college. Example, dependent goes to the military at age 20 and therefore is removed from health insurance. Dependent returns home at age 22 and begins college (change in status and added to parent's plan). Our age cutoff is 23 but I think the dependent is allowed to stay on because of a military exception but I can't find it anywhere. Can anyone help? Thanks for your help.
