You can select coverage for you and your eligible dependents, including:

• Your spouse: the person to whom you are legally married or with whom you have been living in a common-law relationship for at least the last year.
• Your dependent children: each unmarried natural or adopted child or step-child under age 21 (under age 25 if a full time student at an educational institution recognized by the Income Tax Act) who is entirely dependent on you for financial support.
• A disabled child: any unmarried dependent child who became disabled before the limiting ages above and who is capable of financial self-support due to a physical or mental disability.

Choosing your coverage status

When it comes to Medical and Dental, you should consider who you want to cover. You have three coverage status options:

• Single: coverage for you alone
• Member +1: coverage for you and one dependent (either your spouse or a dependent child)
• Family: coverage for you and two or more eligible dependents.

You can choose the same or a different coverage status for Medical and Dental. Take the time to decide what’s best for your situation and make sure any dependent s you want to cover are registered when you enrol.
