Is it true when my sisters boyfriend says he can't get health insurance for their child?
My sisters boyfriend works in a union job construction and has been there for over a year. He can get insurance but says he is not allowed to get it for their 8 month old baby. Is this true? Yes he is the birth father, the child has his last name, he lives with the child as well. He can get insurance but is telling my sister they won't let him get it for his child.

I don't believe he can't get insurance for the baby. He might have to pay for it out of his check.

I think he's full of BS, all your insurance's have family plans, yes it cost more but your child is covered. She needs to find out what he has for medical insurance and call them and ask why?

No that is not true he is the father of that baby so they cannot deny that baby insurance. Has they parents tried chips? Its a federal insurance company for children til the age of 18

Usually insurance provided by employer is for 1 dependent only (the employee). They then pay premiums for each dependent added. He should be able to put any dependent legally bound to him at cost (children and spouse). If she has health insurance with her job, they should check what her premium is and the benefits before deciding which one to use. If he claims he can't cover the kid, then your sister and contact his union rep and ask directly. Another story if they are separated (child support may or may not include stipend for health insurance).

Well to say he can NOT does not sound correct. Now he might not be able to get insurance at this particular moment in time. There are certain times of the year to add, remove or make changes to your health plan / coverage. Of course the cost of his insurance will increase from what he is currently paying. I suggest contacting the customer service # on the back of his medical card or he can also contact his HR department who can get him in the right direction. And if indeed they do not have family coverage which sounds unreal for a union, but just in case they don’t he can always get assistance from the state.
