Manage dependants whose cover is expiring
If a dependant on your membership has a birthday coming up that affects their eligibility, or the new academic year is approaching and you need to update their student status, you can manage their cover in the My Teachers Health app.
This process lets you do one of the following:
- Update your dependants’ student status
- Keep a student dependant on your cover if they remain eligible
- Get Extended family cover if one or more of your dependants are no longer studying but meet the eligibility criteria for dependant non-students
- End cover for any dependants who are no longer eligible
Get started in the app
- Go to the My cover screen
- Tap Manage cover next to the dependant whose cover is expiring
You can also get there from the Home screen by tapping the banner advising that your dependant’s cover is expiring.
What happens next
Update your dependant's status as necessary.
If the dependant is not eligible to remain on your cover, you’ll be prompted to end their cover. If they’re eligible, choose how you’d like to proceed with their cover, based on their eligibility:
- Remain on your cover as a student dependant
- Get Extended family cover so they can stay on as a dependant non-student (you’ll be asked to choose a start date)
- End cover for that dependant
Follow the prompts in the app to confirm eligibility and complete your update.
