Medical Benefits To 2nd Wife And Childrens

Dear All,
An employee joined our organisation in the year 1982 and got married in 1984. But there was some problem that his wife was not in position to conceive baby.
Hence the empoyee without divorce got married for the 2nd time in 1994 and now has 2 son's one was born in 1996 and the other one in 2000.
Now the employee is claiming that the medical benefits should be extended to his 2nd wife and 2 sons.
However the company was giving the medical benefits only to his 1st wife and were not giving any medical benefit to his 2nd wife and sons.
The employee has given divorced to his 1st wife in the year 2009.
Please advise in details whether to extend the medical benefits to 2nd child.
Thanking you..
Regards,
Sagar

Hello Sagar,
To the extent I understand law, now that the employee has ONLY 1 wife--legally i.e.--she & the 2 sons can be extended the medical benefits.
Your query--'whether to extend the medical benefits to 2nd child'--is not clear. The situation would apply equally to both the sons, what's the reason(s) for your focus on ONLY the second child?
Suggest wait for the legal members also to respond.

Hi Sagar,
From the day that employee has given divorce to his 1st wife, he has only one wife and two children. And, its legal. Medical benefits should must be provided to his wife and 2 children regardless of the DOB of his sons.

Normally, the medical benefits are extended to Employee, spouse and two children. He can always give an amendment to his earlier declaration and provide new details covering the names, age relationship to the concerned authorities.

If the second wife is legal and the first has been divorced legally you can extend the benefits to the second wife.
