A local assessment showed 46 percent of residents 18-44 years old lack health care coverage. This is an opportunity for these residents to get needed coverage.

You will need to bring the following to the Enrollment Fair:

  • ID information for all members of your family (age, Social Security numbers, or legal permanent resident/green card or visa numbers.)
  • Income for all family members because you will have to estimate your 2016 family income to get your financial assistance (pay stub or tax forms, or other documents showing income.)
  • Information about insurance offered through your job or your spouse’s job, even if you don’t take it, including how much it costs for a single plan.
For more local information, visit http://www.sarasotahealthinsurancemarketplace.com/ or call 941-861-2900.
