The Illinois Department of Insurance reports a record-high 16% increase in enrollees for the 2024 Affordable Care Act’s Health Insurance Marketplace Open Enrollment. Approximately 398,814 Illinois residents signed up for coverage during this period. Officials now turn attention to raising awareness about Special Enrollment Periods triggered by specific life-changing events. GetCoveredIllinois.com also urges residents who qualify for a Special Enrollment Period to look into possible financial assistance through the Biden Administration’s Inflation Reduction Act. Advanced premium tax credits are available for eligible consumers purchasing directly from the ACA Marketplace.
