Mimbres Memorial Hospital officials said that the government has opened a special enrollment period from now until April 30th.
By obtaining 2015 coverage before April 30th, taxpayers may avoid paying a tax penalty in 2015 and will secure health insurance to help cover themselves and their family in the event of injury or illness.
To qualify, an uninsured individual will need to state they had to pay a penalty for not having coverage in the 2014 tax year… cannot be currently enrolled in a plan on HealthCare.gov… and state they only found out they were going to have to pay a tax penalty when they were preparing their 2014 tax return.
The application counselors at Mimbres Memorial Hospital will help people with the paperwork before the April 30th deadline.
