The Connector has created a special enrollment period April 1-15 for those unable to complete enrollment by Mar 31 deadline due to technical difficulties. Remember these deadlines are not an issue for individuals who will be eligible for MassHealth or ConnectorCare.

There are limited situations in which MassHealth will reimburse families with children on MassHealth Standard or CommonHealth for the costs of purchasing a nongroup insurance policy for the child (or young adult under age 21) in order to obtain services like ABA for Autism that are not generally available in MassHealth.  About 200 children have this benefit now but their private insurance plans expire on or before March 31, 2014.  They must renew plans by March 24 to maintain continuous coverage on April 1. March 31 is the end of the open enrollment period to purchase nongroup plans.

It's not too late to sign up for the annual Immigrants & Public Benefits Training tomorrow. You can sign up on line today or at the door tomorrow.
