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.

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).

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.
