In most cases, when you reach age 26 your parent can no longer keep you on his or her health plan.

For people who meet the prior coverage requirement, a permanent move to a new state will always trigger a special open enrollment period, because each state has its own health plans.

If you want to cancel an employer plan outside of the company's open enrollment, it would require a qualifying life event.
