Dependant

An employee's dependant is normally defined as a child, step child, adopted child, or foster child residing with the employee who is: under 21 and is dependent on the employee for support; over 21 and is dependent because of a physical or mental illness. In some instances the age for a child to qualify as a dependant can be extended to over 21 once they are enrolled in a tertiary education institution, but this is usually limited up to age 23.

On HRplus, the employee's spouse should be listed as a dependant if they are covered on the health plan as this is a requirement for claims to be submitted.
