The current U.S. Code text requires dependent coverage for an adult child until the child turns 26 years of age.
Assessments
The promised federal outcome has not been enacted: current official federal guidance and U.S. Code still set dependent coverage at age 26 (https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?edition=prelim&num=0&req=granuleid%3AUSC-prelim-title42-section300gg-14; https://www.healthcare.gov/young-adults/children-under-26/index.html). H.R. 10252 would raise the limit by replacing 26 with 31, effectively covering young adults through age 30, but it was only introduced on September 3, 2026 and referred to committee; the introduced text names other sponsors/cosponsors, not Strickland. Because Strickland is still in federal office and the outcome remains possible, this is unresolved rather than never. No serious Strickland-specific legislative or executive attempt is shown, so no effort badge.
