Did you get unemployment compensation in 2021?
Starting July 1, 2021, you may be eligible for more savings and lower costs on 2021 Marketplace coverage if you have received or are eligible to get unemployment compensation in 2021.
If you or your spouse got unemployment income for at least one week in 2021, your whole household may be eligible for a tax credit that covers the entire monthly premium for the second lowest cost Silver plan (SLCSP) that’s available to you in your area, regardless of your household’s income. And if anyone in your household (including a dependent) got unemployment compensation in 2021, you may qualify for new cost-sharing reductions to lower your household’s out-of-pocket costs if you enroll in a Marketplace plan in the silver category.
In Central Ohio, the 2 carriers that have free plans are Oscar and Molina. However, even if you are not with one of these companies, the cost of your coverage will be reduced.
If you have a Marketplace plan and haven’t updated your application since June 30, 2021, please contact us at (740) 967-0210 and we can help you quickly update your application and let you know your reduced cost.
