PlainBill explanation
Based on the full Introduced in House · 2025-02-13 text. This explanation has not received human editorial review. This overview describes the proposal’s major provisions; it does not establish what its real-world effects would be.
The proposed Fix FEDVIP Age Act would change age references from 22 to 26 in federal law. Its coverage heading describes dependent children under age 26 and calls the coverage FEDVIP, but the supplied text does not define that acronym. Because the existing eligibility rules are not reproduced, the precise coverage effect and which children would qualify cannot be fully determined from the supplied text.
This Act may be cited as the Fix FEDVIP Age Act.
2. FEDVIP coverage for dependent children under age 26 Section 8901(5) of title 5, United States Code, is amended by striking 22 each place it appears and inserting 26.
