Hi,First of all, I would like to apologized if this was already answered in the other threads. Tried to research it but could not find any answers regarding this.
I will be terminated as of Dec 31,2015 and will be on employers health insurance till Dec 31, 2015. Since I will need health insurance starting Jan.1,2016, Can I enroll for ACA now to be covered on Jan 2016 or do I have wait for my insurance coverage to end before applying in ACA? I believe there is a one month gap period, which I am trying to avoid.
I was hoping to use a broker but only 2 responded to my emails and said they will be calling me but have not received any calls from them yet.(anyone recommend a broker?) I am now thinking if I will just go to the website and do it myself. First time to go on ACA and a little bit anxious. I want to be sure I get the coverage I need. I'm based in NY and will not be eligible for subsidy for 2016 due to income that I will be getting next year.
Thank you very much for any help or suggestions on this.
