Am I Covered by my Spouse’s Medicare Insurance?
My husband’s insurance covers me now but he will retire this year in June and I will not have any coverage. He will go on Medicare. Will I still be covered by his insurance? I only work part time as our church secretary and the church does not offer insurance to me. When can I sign up?
Answer
Your husband's Medicare coverage will not cover you. In order to avoid paying the ObamaCare Penalty Fee, you must obtain health insurance coverage during the open enrollment period (which ends on Feb. 15) or qualify for a tax penalty exemption.
