Losing Health Insurance When You Lose Your Job Qualifies You For ObamaCare

Posted by on April 4, 2020 in ObamaCare News Archive


If you lose health insurance for any other reason than non-payment, for example if you lost coverage because you lost your job, you qualify for special enrollment in ObamaCare’s health insurance marketplace.

Thus, if you know you will lose your coverage, or if you already lost it, make sure to check out HealthCare.Gov and ask about special enrollment in a marketplace plan.

Don’t forget, assistance is based on annual income, so you may qualify for assistance as well!

If you lost health insurance, you have 60 days to enroll in a healthcare.gov marketplace plan from the time you lost your job. Go to healthcare.gov and look into special enrollment.
