Today is the last day to register for an Access Health CT insurance plan in order to receive coverage for Jan. 1, the insurance exchange said.
The uninsured who do not enroll today can still avoid a tax penalty, if they enroll before Feb. 15. Those who don’t enroll by that date — and who do not qualify for a special circumstance such as a change in address or employment — will face tax penalty, under the Affordable Care Act.
The fine will be the greater of 2 percent of household income over the federal income tax filing threshold or $325 per individual.
The penalty has increased from 1 percent last year.
