Question: I am working in Europe and plan to return to the US in May 2014. I assume I can enroll with a Covered CA plan when I return? Will I face a tax penalty for the months I was out of the country for not having health insurance?
Answer: Being out of the country exempts you from the individual mandate so there will be no penalty. You will also be eligible for a special enrollment when you return in May 2014.
