Fee
No fees for Assistor services. Insurance plan costs will vary depending on the plan one purchases through the Marketplace. Those with income between 100%-400% of the federal poverty guidelines may be eligible for financial assistance programs designed to help pay for an insurance plan.
Eligibility
Open enrollment for the marketplace is November 1st through December 15th (sometimes later) annually but can also assist those who may qualify for “special enrollment” if they have had a "qualifying life event," such as starting or leaving a job, certain changes in income, and/or changes in family size (for example, if they have married, divorced, or had a baby.) May also be able to assist those who may have had an issue signing up during open enrollment. Also serves those who are not eligible for Medicare and who are curious about their public health insurance options. Individuals who have an income through 138% of the federal poverty level will also be screened for Medicaid.
