Under survivor benefits, which statement is true about coverage up to age 30?

• A. Unmarried, have no dependents, no other insurance
• B. Married or has dependents
• C. Enrolled as a dependent until 18
• D. Employed full-time

Answer: (A)

Survivor benefits are designed to maintain coverage for those who don’t have other protections and who aren’t part of a family or dependent situation that would be covered under a different provision. The scenario that best fits coverage up to age 30 is an unmarried survivor who has no dependents and no other insurance. In this case there isn’t a spouse, no dependent children, and no other policy to coordinate with, so the survivor benefit can extend to age 30 to provide a safety net. If someone is married or has dependents, they would typically fall under a different coverage category or arrangement rather than the up-to-30 rule described. A dependent being enrolled until 18 points to a younger dependent with a different age limit, not the up-to-30 survivor rule. Being employed full-time does not determine eligibility or duration of survivor coverage; the factors are relationship status and other available coverage.
