Example 2: Employee FAQ
## Can I cover my spouse's children?
Yes. Stepchildren can be covered under your health plan if they legally reside with you and you have a court order or adoption agreement. Provide documentation during enrollment.
## What happens to my coverage if I take unpaid leave?
Your health insurance continues during unpaid FMLA leave. You remain responsible for your contribution. Contact HR for specifics about non-FMLA leaves.
