The other angle you may want to consider is if there is still a real need for your daughter to be insured when she turns 18. Practical questions like - is she already earning that much to merit ensuring her, just in case? The premium you will be paying may actually be better spent on her college education.

Some employers cover dependent children until the end of the calendar year they turn 19 years old. Some cover until 30 days after they're 18, unless a documented full-time student. Check with your HR person or member services at your insurance company to avoid ugly surprises. It varies by insurance and employer.

Recent legislation in my state, CT, changed the age to 26, regardless of student status. Restrictions apply. Since none of us have sufficient information to answer your question, I suggest you contact the HR department at your employer and ask them what the applicable age is for you and your family.
