Young adults all over the country are leaving home when they go to college or enter the workforce. In your outreach, education, and enrollment efforts geared toward young adults and their families, let them know that if they don’t have an offer of employer-sponsored coverage that is affordable (according to the Affordable Care Act definition) and meets minimum value (MV), young adults have other options to get covered.
Remind these consumers that if they don’t have any health coverage, they may have to pay the individual shared responsibility payment when they file federal income taxes, and that there is no special exception for age or student status.
