The definition of Dependent Children in our Educational Assistance Plan document, available here, is as follows: “Dependent Children includes unmarried natural, step- or adopted children, children of your Domestic Partner, and children for whom you are legal guardian."  The children are covered to age 25.  The children are covered if you are eligible to claim them as dependents on your income taxes.

If your Dependent Child is not listed as a Dependent in Workday, alternate options for Proof of Relationship may be uploaded in place of this page:

• Birth certificate
• Documentation of adoption, or other appropriate legal documents
• Page one of your most recent federal or state tax return, which must show the child(ren) claimed as a dependent (please redact/cross out wage and social security number information)
