Graduation! No more school, no more homework, no more studying, no more insurance coverage.
Graduation time is almost here. Time to clean out the lockers, sell those old books that you don’t want, make plans for the summer, or perhaps get some new clothes for that job you were able to set up during a recent employment expo. Everything looks good; you’ve made it through college and are ready to face the world. So where are you going to get your health insurance coverage?
College students have traditionally been able to receive health benefits from their parent’s insurance plan which typically comes from the parent’s employer. Great news as long as you’re in school full time and meet the age requirements for policies. For students that are not going into the work force and able to get health benefits or are not continuing on to graduate school the following article has some good information to keep you covered.
