A BILL To amend title 5, United States Code, to provide that dependent children under the age of 26 are eligible for coverage under the Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill amends title 5 of the United States Code to extend dental and vision insurance coverage under the Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP) to dependent children up to age 26, instead of the previous age limit of 22. By changing the age threshold, the bill will allow federal employees to maintain health insurance coverage for their children for a longer period, which aligns with similar provisions in other health insurance programs like the Affordable Care Act. The bill, known as the "Fix FEDVIP Age Act," makes a simple but meaningful change that could provide more comprehensive insurance protection for federal employees' families by ensuring dependent children have continued access to dental and vision care until they are 26 years old.
