It may be because parents can claim their kids on their tax returns and provide health insurance up to the age of 25 if they don't have gainful employment. Just spitballing here.
oh they can be gainfully employeed and still have parent provided health insurance. My coworkers daughter is employeed, married and has a kid and she is still covered by her dad's insurance. He tried taking her off due to the whole married part, but the HR people told him to leave it alone until she aged out.

what he pays is cheaper than what the husband and get through his work for a spouse. So he is helping them out by keeping the lower monthly rate until she ages out

 
snick what type of insurance is that? I thought even with obamcrap/care if you had one source of insurance you lost the other insurance (parents)?? even once you have a kid?

The state of IL did their own thing about kids before obamacare came out. The state will cover employees dependents until 26 no matter what.

 
that's really sad in my opinion. Especially for the taxpayers...

I thought the "age out" couldn't be used if the child gets married. I was booted from my parent's insurance when I got married. Granted, that was 13 years ago...

 
In New Jersey, the Legislature and our courts have long recognized a child's (a young adult?s) need for higher education and that this need is a proper consideration in determining a parent's child (adult's) support oblation. Writing for the Court in Newburgh, Justice Pollock set forth a non-exhaustive list of twelve factors a court should consider in evaluating a claim for contribution toward the cost of higher education. See Newburgh v. Arrigo, 88 N.J. 529 (1982).

The enumerated factors are as follows:

(1) whether the parent, if still living with the child, would have contributed toward the costs of the requested higher education; (2) the effect of the background, values and goals of the parent on the reasonableness of the expectation of the child for higher education; (3) the amount of the contribution sought by the child for the cost of higher education; (4) the ability of the parent to pay that cost; (5) the relationship of the requested contribution to the kind of school or course of study sought by the child; (6) the financial resources of both parents; (7) the commitment to and aptitude of the child for the requested education; (8) the financial resources of the child, including assets owned individually or held in custodianship or trust; (9) the ability of the child to earn income during the school year or on vacation; (10) the availability of financial aid in the form of college grants and loans; (11) the child's relationship to the paying parent, including mutual affection and shared goals as well as responsiveness to parental advice and guidance; and (12) the relationship of the education requested to any prior training and to the overall long-range goals of the child (adult).
This makes a little more sense... oh, and NJ stinks!

 
unions.. say no more......they should really outlaw unions for government employees.. I will email that to Jeb right now!

 
(11) the child's relationship to the paying parent, including mutual affection and shared goals as well as responsiveness to parental advice and guidance;

^-- you would think that right there would do it!

 
I've heard vague rumors that folks who live there have spelling issues too...just sayin'

 
So, if I move to NJ can I sue my parents for reimbursement of college expenses?
