There may still be an opportunity to enroll in Marketplace coverage for 2015 for those who are uninsured and were unaware that a penalty would be assessed on their 2014 tax return. This special enrollment period is from March 15th to April 30th, 2015, and is specifically for individuals who are not currently enrolled in a Marketplace plan AND have a penalty on their taxes for 2014 for not having insurance, AND were unaware, or did not understand the penalty and its implications.

The Project of the Quad Cities has trained Illinois-licensed navigators providing FREE in-person enrollment assistance to Illinois residents and tax preparation firms to help them to better understand the special enrollment period and exemptions. For information call (309)762-5433, or visit us at 2316 5th Avenue, Moline, IL 61265.
