Meaning that is was purchased before the passage of the PPACA (Obamacare). If that is the case, until 2014, “grandfathered” group plans do not have to offer dependent coverage up to age 26 if a young adult is eligible for group coverage outside of their parent’s plan. If it is not a ‘grandfathered plan’ then your mother’s employer no longer has the legal right to ask if you offered health insurance elsewhere by an employer.

If your mother is deceased, there is no more health insurance coverage for her. This being the case, it is impossible for you to continue coverage under that plan.

Your father can choose to keep you on his policy until age 26 whether you are attending college or not. If your father’s coverage is better than what you have now and your father allows it. You may be better off staying on his plan. Again, it is your option as to which coverage to pursue. Compare the plans and choose what’s best for you.

You can stay on your father’s policy until the age of 26. Whether you are married or unmarried and whether or not you are attending college.

It is an option to keep your child on your plan until they are age 26. It is not mandatory.
