Can I be added to my bf's health/dental insurance from work?

Question

Hi. I was wondering if I am actually able to be added to my boyfriends benefits he gets from work. We live in Las Vegas, Nevada and he works at the Clark County Detention Center so its the County. My payrol employee at my work told me we can as long as we have one bill under both of our names to prove we are living together. We have been living together for alittle over 4 years and its always been a question on our minds.

Answer 1

If you are able to be added, that is dependent upon state law and/or employer policy, to be removed you will have to go to court and get a court order, in all practical a divorce which opens up a whole other can of worms such as access to assets and retirement accounts.

Answer 2

If you are in Las Vegas already, just go to any of the instant wedding chapels there and get married; then you can be married to his insurance because he will be your husband.  Problem solved.

Answer 3

Your payroll employee at your work doesn't have the authority to say what can or can't be covered under your boyfriend's insurance. He needs to talk with the HR people at *his* work to see whether or not you can be covered.

Answer 4

If he has coverage for a domestic partner-maybe. You will have to see what the requirements are for eligibility.

Answer 5

i'm not aware of this when they state domestic partnership, I believe they are talking same s*x relationships where the couple is considered "married". if u all want to save money though check out linx2health.. helps to save up to 50% off on ANY type of doctor's visits (medical, dental, vision, prescriptions, etc...) Im just so happy i ran into this information cuz it has helped my grandparens alot SO i'm just trying to share the info with everybody! check www.5linx.net/lab under products for more info about your state.

Answer 6

My guess is you need to be married or legal domestic partners. Otherwise adding people on insurance policies in this method would become a scam.
