For Nevada Health Link, a household usually includes the tax filer, their spouse or domestic partner, and their tax dependents and children under 21 who live with you.
Follow these basic rules when including members of your household:
- Include yourself
- Include your spouse* or domestic partner
- Include anyone you plan to claim as a tax dependent for the year you want coverage
- Include any child under 21 you take care of and who lives with you, even if not your tax dependent
- Include your spouse and tax dependents even if they don't need health coverage
*You don't have to include your spouse if you are a victim of domestic abuse, domestic violence, or spousal abandonment.
