Affordable Care Act

With the introduction of the Affordable Care Act, all uninsured individuals must have "minimal essential coverage" by 1/1/14.  If insurance is available and you do not obtain it, you will have to make an additional payment of either $95.00 or 1% of your taxable income in 2014.  The payment will be added to your taxes.

The VA Health Care network and the Tricare programs meet the minimal essential coverage requirement. Veterans enrolled in either of those programs will not be assessed the additional payment.

If you don't have health insurance, consider enrolling in the VA Health Care network.

Call the Veterans Service Agency at 785-3086 for details and applications.
