HRS §432:1-601
Health coverage for adult children with disabilities
This section says that if a health plan would normally stop covering a dependent child at a certain age, the plan must keep covering that child past that age if the child cannot work due to a disability and depends on the policyholder for support. The policyholder must send proof of the child's condition and dependency within 31 days of the child reaching that age, and later if asked.
