Health Benefits for adult children

If you have a child that is 23 or over, that is no longer a full time student, and is not cover by health insurance with their present employer, or another policy, you may qualify to have them reinstated on your policy. Speak with Donna Roberts at the Board Office for more clarification.

NJEA remains steadfast in its opposition
to any excise tax.

We continue to urge you to contact your representatives and tell them that ANY federal excise tax will amount to a tax increase for middle class workers and their families.

Here’s what you can do:

  • Call your senators and tell them to oppose any measure that contains an excise tax:

Senator Frank Lautenberg,

(973) 639-8700

Senator Robert Menendez,

(973) 645-3030

  • Call your congressman and tell him to oppose any measure that contains an excise tax. If you need help identifying your congressman, go to njea.org to find that information.

  • You'd be surprised how many people don't remember to submit their prescription to Blue Cross Blue Shield for reimbursement.  Once you have reached your deductible, 80% of your prescription cost are covered by our contract. If your prescription cost is $15, you should be reimbursed $12 after your deductible has been met. You can submit your claims as they occur; monthly; or yearly...It's entirely up to you.
  • Just remember to:

do it.RX
