             such as a financial dependency or personal relationship such as that of a spouse, or a
             natural or adopted child. The policy holder may be required by law to recognize certain
             associations or may have discretion about the associations. For example, a policy holder
             may dictate the criteria for the dependent status of adult children who are students,
             such as requiring full time enrollment, or may recognize domestic partners as dependents.
             Under certain circumstances, the dependent may be under the indirect authority of a responsible
             party acting as a surrogate for the subscriber, for example, if the subscriber is differently-abled
             or deceased, a guardian ad Lidem or estate executor may be appointed to assume the subscriber’s
             legal standing in the relationship with the dependent.</td>
