A question was submitted:

I am an OHSU AFSCME employee. When is the Healthcare coverage for children up to 26 years old going to go into effect at OHSU? They will no longer be required to be a full time student, correct?

Answer:

Thank you for your inquiry. The new health care law states employers must be compliant by January 2011. OHSU plans to implement this for AFSCME represented members in Jan. 2011. And yes, that is correct about the student status.
