Question: Our student has university insurance through August 2014. At that time his projected income will qualify for him for subsidies. Does he need to apply BEFORE March to get them? Or when should he apply for this? Can’t find this anywhere!
Answer: No. He can wait until his school insurance expires in August or September and apply for exchange coverage then. The loss of his current coverage will qualify him for a special enrollment period to apply for new coverage.
