Remember HR isn't always accurate or up to date. This sounds like the child had insurance but lost it so as a member of your household this would qualify. Email the HR manager and explain.

I think they call it a “qualifying event” and your child should be able to be added to your plan with just a paper saying you’re putting them on your insurance open enrollment or not.

Source- I did this hoop jump about 5 years ago with my kids. You don’t need a court order you might have to get a notarized affidavit saying that you are now the custodial parent (the qualifying event).

I have seen a case this week were a coworker had a life event and HR tried to turn him down for insurance. Once the HR manager found out it was fixed immediately but he had to chase it all the way to get what he deserved.
