You have until midnight on Friday to sign up for Covered California
LA TimesThe window for new customers to sign up for Covered California was originally slated to close on Jan. 31, but the state exchange extended the deadline to Feb. 9. According to Covered California, 90% of customers receive some kind of subsidy to their premiums, and lower-income individuals and families can find coverage for less than $10 in premiums per month. Thanks to a law that went into effect in 2024, undocumented people of any age are also eligible for Medi-Cal, and anyone can apply for coverage through Covered California, regardless of immigration status. And Covered California has added a qualifying life event that practically anyone can use: “needed more time to sign up.” If you want your healthcare plan to kick in for the entire month of February, midnight Friday is the final deadline.
