Who are eligible dependants under the OSSTF Benefits Plan?

May 1, 2024

Your legal spouse, or a person continuously living with you in a role like that of a marriage partner for at least 12 months, is eligible.

Your natural or adopted child, stepchild, or foster child, who is:

• Unmarried;
• Under age 21, or under age 25 if a full-time student;
• Not employed on a full-time basis; and
• Not eligible for coverage as a member under this or any other Group Benefit Program.

A step child must be living with you to be eligible. A child who is incapacitated due to a mental or physical disability on the date they reach the age when they would otherwise cease to be an eligible dependant will continue to be eligible.

Life events such as the birth of a child, marriage and common law must be reported within 31 days of the event, otherwise may be subject to late applicant restrictions. Please refer to the FAQ section – Change in Status for more information.
