In Arkansas and across the nation, open enrollment for health insurance through the Affordable Care Act ends on December 15th at midnight. The federal government reports more than four million people have signed up since open enrollment began on November 1st. At Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families, Health Policy Director Camille Richoux says the A-C-A open enrollment period runs until January 15th – but Arkansans would have to enroll within the next two weeks to get a full year of coverage starting January 1st.
Richoux adds Arkansas Medicaid requirements are different for adults than for children. For adults, their income must be under 137 percent of the Federal Poverty Level. That’s roughly 34-thousand dollars a year for a family of three. And for kids, family income has to be below 250 percent of the federal poverty level. For a family of three, that’s roughly 62 thousand dollars a year.
