Fix FEDVIP Age Act

H.R. 1287, the Fix FEDVIP Age Act, would amend federal law to allow dependent children of federal employees and retirees to remain covered under the Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP) until age 26, instead of the current age limit of 22. This change would align FEDVIP with other federal health insurance programs, including the Federal Employee Health Benefits Program and military TRICARE coverage, which already allow dependent children to stay on their parents' plans until age 26.

Currently, dependent children of federal employees can remain on their parents' general health insurance through age 26 under the Affordable Care Act and federal programs, but lose dental and vision coverage four years earlier at age 22. If enacted, this bill would close that gap and provide more consistent coverage for young adults during the transition to independence. The bill is currently under consideration by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
