When you are purchasing a health, dental or vision insurance plan you will likely sign up your family as well. What qualifies someone to be a dependent?
Basically, anyone you claim on your tax return is considered a dependent. Dependents are generally your spouse/domestic partner and/or any kids under 26 years old. A child can be a biological, adopted or a stepchild. However, who you can claim as a dependent can vary by state. So, make sure to double check your states requirement.
