Starting May 11, 2020, MNsure began offering an ongoing special enrollment period for Minnesotans who experience a decrease in household income and become newly eligible for advanced premium tax credits (APTC). Those looking to enroll will need to have had health insurance that meets the standards in the Affordable Care Act, also known as minimum essential coverage (MEC), for one or more days in the 60 days immediately preceding their decrease in household income.
Minnesotans must act within 60 days after they experience a decrease in household income to be eligible.
“If you were enrolled in a health insurance plan outside of MNsure and your income has decreased, you may be eligible to enroll in a plan through MNsure and qualify for tax credits to help cover the cost of your health insurance,” said MNsure CEO Nate Clark. “Don’t delay if you’re in that situation. Give us a call, or visit MNsure.org today to see if you qualify for this enrollment opportunity.”
Eligible Minnesotans will need to verify both the date of the decrease in their household income, and that they had minimum essential coverage for at least one day during the 60 days prior to their decrease in income before being able select a plan. Coverage start dates are based on the plan selection date.
Specific information regarding who qualifies, plans available and verifications can be found on MNsure.org.
