A minor child that a person responsible to make the payment is required to cover as a beneficiary pursuant to Minnesota Statue 518.171 is eligible for insurance coverage as a dependent of the person responsible to make the payment until the child is emancipated or until further order of the court. F. Insurer Notice. The signature of the custodial parent of the insured dependent is a valid authorization to the insurer for purposes of processing an insurance reimbursement payment to the provider of the medical services. When an order for dependent insurance coverage is in effect and the employment of the person responsible to make the payment is terminated, or the insurance coverage is terminated, the insurer shall notify the person entitled to receive the payment within 10 days of the termination date with notice of conversion privileges. G. Release of Information. When an order for dependent insurance coverage is in effect, the employer or union of the person responsible to make the payment shall release to the person entitled to receive the payment or the public authority, upon request, information on the dependent coverage, including the name of the insurer.

The public agency responsible for support enforcement is authorized to release to the insurer or employer of the person responsible to make the payment information necessary to obtain or enforce medical support.

Application for Service. The public agency responsible for support enforcement shall take necessary steps to implement and enforce an order for dependent health or dental insurance whenever the children receive public assistance, or upon application of the person entitled to receive the payment to the public agency and payment of any fees required by Minnesota Statute 518.551.
