Does the government offer health insurance to girlfriends of their civilian workers?

Health Insurance
beach_bum asked:


My boyfriend works for the government (Air Force, to be exact) as a civilian (NOT enlisted - whole different ball game as far as benefits are concerned). He gets health insurance coverage for himself, but we’re trying to figure out if the government offers health insurance coverage for significant others of civilians.

Any ideas?

    No - you need to be married or be the dependent (e.g. son/daughter) of the person who is insured.

    No, but with the increasing pressure for gays to get bennies, they will prob start doing so shortly.

    No, it would have to be his spouse or children. It does not cover girlfriends/boyfriends.

  4. JMP says:

    No, Your a girlfriend not a spouse therefore you are not entitled to anything.

    No, you have to be a spouse or other dependent in order to get covered on his insurance.

    No. Of course not.
    If they were to offer insurance to *** couples, they would probably need to be legally married or bound in some way.
    Looks like you need to get your own insurance. Now, if you have a baby together, but aren’t married, your baby will get insurance…
