health care coverage for my daughter

Question
My daughter was being covered by my ex-husband on his insurance.  He lost his job in December of 2008.  He was suppose to get coverage for her.  There is no communication with him at all and I can't find out if she is covered.  I am now having to add my 20 year old son because he is going back to college.  I want to add my daughter because I don't think she is covered.  I do know that her father still does not have a job.  My company does not want to allow me to add her.  Is there anything that I can do?


Answer
Tough question. Is the coverage for your daughter part of a divorce settlement. How old is she? How can the father be covering the child if he is not working. You would need a note from the insurance company with the status of her coverage to show your employer. Not an easy thing..
