California

A number of states, including California require residents to have qualifying health insurance, also called an individual mandate. Under California’s individual mandate, those who do not have qualifying health insurance coverage may face a financial penalty unless they qualify for an exemption. Because ClearShare is not insurance, a ClearShare membership does not qualify as health insurance coverage for California residents and therefore a ClearShare membership by itself does not meet the California individual mandate. But ClearShare can assist with health care costs that may not be covered by a qualifying health insurance plan.  To get more information about qualifying health insurance coverage and details about the California individual mandate, visit Covered California’s website (CoveredCA.com) or the California Franchise Tax Board’s website (ftb.ca.gov). 


District of Columbia 

A number of states, including D.C. require residents to have qualifying health insurance, also called an individual mandate. Under D.C.’s individual mandate, those who do not have qualifying health insurance coverage may face a financial penalty unless they qualify for an exemption. Because ClearShare is not insurance, a ClearShare membership does not qualify as health insurance coverage for D.C. residents and therefore a ClearShare membership by itself does not meet the D.C. individual mandate. But ClearShare can assist with health care costs that may not be covered by a qualifying health insurance plan.  To get more information about qualifying health insurance coverage and details about the D.C. individual mandate, visit https://disb.dc.gov/page/do-you-know-your-health-insurance-rights.
