You are correct that dependents can be on their parent's policy until they reach age 26 or until they get a job that offers health insurance benefits. Now as to your issue of when you can add her back on to your policy, if she was already removed from the policy it is going to depend on how your insurer chooses to implement the new requirement which takes effect 9/23/10. They may make you wait until the anniversary of your policy to add her. You will need to call the customer service number on the back of your ID card.

~~Yes this reform takes place tomorrow so you may add her back on your policy. To have access to all the changes and when they take place here is the link. Many good changes start tomorrow, many very important ones can't take place until 2014.
3 :
You have to wait until the next open enrollment period, if they've already been dropped off.
4 :
Check with your insurer. That option is required effective with the first annual policy renewal AFTER 9/23/10 but some insurers have already implemented it. Student status is not required - however, they must be unmarried and not have their own employer coverage.
