Starting January 1, 2014, nearly all Americans are required to purchase and maintain a health insurance policy which meets certain coverage requirements. If your family income is at or below 400% of the federal poverty level, you will qualify for some form of federal assistance with your premium.
See the chart below to see if you or your family might qualify for federal assistance with your health insurance premium.
If you are under 400%, then you should contact your health insurance agent in September or October for help in obtaining the federal assistance.
