To qualify as an immediate family member under EAP Policy, what is the maximum age of an unmarried child or step child?

• A. 18
• B. 19
• C. 21
• D. 25

Answer: (B)

The situation tests how an EAP policy defines who counts as an immediate family member, specifically the age limit for a dependent child or stepchild. Under this policy, an unmarried child or stepchild is considered a dependent up to the age of 19. That means they qualify as an immediate family member until their 19th birthday; once they turn 20, they no longer meet this criterion unless another provision (such as being a full-time student, which isn’t specified here) applies. The other ages don’t match this policy’s limit for unmarried children or stepchildren, so the correct understanding is that the maximum age is 19.
