You may be able to get away with keeping them on your insurance. Most benefit programs will cover “dependents” that are full-time students up to the age of 25. If you can no longer claim your child as a dependent, your benefit program should not cover them either. Our tax consultant said that we could claim our Mid for the year that he began as a Plebe. After that, he was no longer our dependent. We dropped him from our insurance at that point as a dependent as well since it seemed like the proper thing to do.
