Reply to comment by Starlightandspirits in MassHealth for my kid by [deleted]

I did send it to the insurance person at my job at first they said that this is a “qualifying event” to add someone to my insurance but then they came back saying it didn’t say in the court order that I had to add her to my insurance

Is health insurance listed anywhere in the new court order? Is the other parent on the order at all or is it basically saying you’re the only parent now?

Insurance is not listed in the order, I’m to have sole (temporary) custody and placement of my kid, in a few months on the next court order I’ll most likely be made permanent.

The permanent order will address health insurance. Until then wherever coverage the kid already has should remain in place.

It’s a different state so I assumed I needed a new insurance for my kid

That’s tough. I’m guessing that your work doesn’t see temporary orders as life changing event. Could you ask them before your next court date to clarify what should be in the new orders?

that’s not how it works… your insurance person is incorrect. You don’t need the court order to spell it out… if you get custody unless it’s stipulated the other parent provides the insurance. The onus is on the insurance carrier to add your new dependent to your plan.
