Congratulations, Graduates! Now About That Health Insurance Thing...

...Student health insurance through your school will end soon after graduation. You may need a new health plan to be safe and avoid monthly tax penalties.

Did You Know...

…that you can stay on a parent or guardian’s health insurance for 2 years after you are no longer claimed as a dependent on their taxes? If they have a Massachusetts-based health insurance plan and you are age 25 or younger, it’s possible.

Self Employed?

Eligibility for a subsidized Commonwealth Care plan is based on income. If you are self employed, that number will be based on your total business income listed or allowable on your U.S. Tax Return. Contact us if you have questions.

Are You Exempt?

You may not be required to have health insurance if you have low income or special circumstances. Use our Affordability Tool to find out. You can apply for a Certificate of Exemption if you have a special hardship.
