certificate from an employee or annuitant, complete
Part D of the claim form. You are responsible for
determining eligibility for foster children and disabled
children age 22 and over. See the definitions below.
Do not send the background documentation to
OFEGLI. Simply indicate your certification in Part D of

Definition of Terms
Disabled dependent child 22 yrs. or over means a child who was incapable of self-support because of a
mental or physical disability that existed before the child became 22 years of age.
Foster child means a child living with you in a regular parent-child relationship where you are the primary
source of financial support for the child and expect to raise the child to adulthood. A child placed in your home
by a welfare or social service agency under an agreement where the agency retains control of the child or pays
for maintenance does not qualify as a foster child. Grandchildren, as such, are not eligible family members.
However, grandchildren can qualify as foster children if they meet all of the requirements.
Recognized natural child means a child born out of wedlock whom you recognized as your child during the
child’s lifetime. In addition, at the time of the child’s death, he/she must have either lived with you in a regular
parent-child relationship or been dependent on you financially.
Regular parent-child relationship means that you exercise parental authority, responsibility, and control over
the child by caring for, supporting, disciplining, and guiding the child, including making decisions about the child’s
education and health care.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS CONCERNING YOUR CHILD’S ELIGIBILITY FOR COVERAGE, YOU MUST
CONTACT YOUR EMPLOYING AGENCY OR RETIREMENT SYSTEM, AND NOT OFEGLI.
