Many of the new rules will go into effect in 2016 and ignorance is starting to get expensive! Some important dates include:open-enrollment-

PROBLEM:

Penalties are the greater of 2.5% of household income or $695/person!

  1. 11/1/2015: Open enrollment starts through the marketplace exchange for a 1/1/2016 start date.
  2. 12/15/2015: Last day to enroll for a 1/1/2016 start date.
  3. 1/15/2016: Last day to enroll for a 2/1/2016 start date.
  4. 1/31/2016: Last day to enroll for a 3/1/2016 start date and avoid paying a penalty. The last date to enroll for coverage until 2017 unless one qualifies for the SEP (special enrollment period).

The SEP only comes into play if there’s a change in life or a change in status like getting married or losing coverage etc.
