Texas PLW 2026 Practice Test

Under federal law, which describes who qualifies as a dependent child for coverage?

Only natural children Only adopted children Natural, adopted, married or unmarried children up to age 26 Only full-time students

Correct Answer:

Natural, adopted, married or unmarried children up to age 26

Explanation:

Dependents for coverage are defined by age limits and relationship. The key rule is that a dependent child can be covered up to age 26, and this includes natural and adopted children, with the option for coverage regardless of whether the child is married or unmarried. That’s why including natural or adopted children and allowing for both married and unmarried status up to 26 makes this option the best fit. In practice, other qualifying relationships like stepchildren or foster children are also covered in many federal plans, but the essential point is the up-to-26 age cap combined with the defined family relationships. The other options are too narrow, excluding either natural or adopted children or tying coverage to a narrower circumstance like being a full-time student.
