Hoping to capitalize on news on the Census that 500,000 young adults gained health care coverage last year because of a provision in the federal health care reform law, a group called Young Invincibles is pushing more college students to know their new rights.

The health care law allows the these young adults to stay on their parents’ health insurance until they are 26.

The campaign is called “Friends with Benefits” and run though this week. The group created a toolkit with state specific information on student health care options. They hope to reach 200,000 young adults, who will share the information with their friends.

“We think Friends With Benefits Week is a great chance to engage young people on the importance of health care and explain their options,” said Aaron Smith, executive director and co-founder of the advocacy group, Young Invincibles, in a statement. “Finding the right insurance can be a confusing process, which is why we created the Back-To-School Toolkit. It’s our hope that young people will use the Toolkit as a resource on campus, so everyone has the coverage and care they need to stay healthy this school year.”
