During the Option Transfer Period, eligible young adult children of NYSHIP enrollees can enroll in the Young Adult Option, and current young adult enrollees can switch plans. This option allows unmarried, young adult children up to age 30 to purchase their own NYSHIP coverage. The premium is the full cost for individual coverage for the NYSHIP option selected. For more information on the Young Adult Option, go to www.cs.ny.gov/yao and choose your group.
Please note: Young adult children of NYSHIP enrollees are eligible to continue coverage as dependents under the enrollees' family coverage up to age 26.
