If you miss the deadline, you will likely have to wait another year to get covered. If you get sick, break a bone, or need emergency surgery, not only will you be stuck with a bill, you will also have to pay a penalty for not having coverage.
- January 31st is the final deadline for coverage and the last chance to avoid the penalty in 2016.
- Open Enrollment only happens once each year. This year’s Open Enrollment for 2016 coverage runs from November 1 through January 31. Don’t miss your chance to get covered.
- If you don't get covered by the January 31 deadline, you could face a penalty on your taxes next year of $695 or more.
