Millions of Americans are without a job and health insurance. We can offer some solutions for you, so give our office a call today, and let us go to work for you. In the meantime, here are some suggestions of things you can do to help your situation:
- Sign up for COBRA. COBRA (Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act) allows you to retain your employer health coverage for up to 18 months.
- Get added on to your spouse’s plan if they are still employed.
- Buy an individual plan in the health insurance marketplace. You are generally entitled to apply for a new plan if you lose your existing health coverage, even though the annual open-enrollment period to sign up for a marketplace plan has passed.
- Find out if you qualify for Medicaid. You need to be a very low-income household to qualify, and eligibility rules vary from state to state. However, if you are unemployed and have no household income, it pays to see if you qualify.
We specialize in health insurance, so we know the market and can find you a plan that fits your needs.
