Hello JuStan01, thanks for participating in our event today! 

Good news, if someone otherwise qualifies as a dependent, then their medical insurance provider doesn't matter at all.  As long as your son earned less than $4300 for the year, and you provided more than half of his support, you are eligible to claim him as a dependent. 

 

I do hope your son gets better soon!  But if for any reason your son ends up unable to work for a long period of time and begins to receive any disability benefits, remember that you will need to include that amount in your calculations of support. 

 

Hope that helps!
