Staying on parent’s health coverage?

Hey all!

Forgive me if something like this has already been asked before, but I've done a pretty superficial internet search for this information and I'm finding mixed answers.

I'm 22, just graduated college and have a new full-time job. My job offers health insurance, and I elected into it and am currently enrolled. I also am covered by my father's insurance plan. I'm wondering if I'm allowed to be covered under both plans: my father's until I'm 26, and my employer's health insurance. I've been covered under 2 insurances before (my mom's and my dad's) so I know that's a thing that is perfectly allowed, however, I'm just unsure of if anything changes because I'm no longer going to have the "dependent" status (as I have my own job, am paying my own rent/bills, etc.).

If this is a stupid question, forgive me. I am but a wee lad who does not know how insurance works.
