Healthcare enrollment events help constituents beat deadline

DeKalb County Commissioner Larry Johnson and State Rep. Pam Stephenson co-hosted a healthcare enrollment event on March 26 at the Wesley Chapel Library in Decatur to help constituents meet the federal March 31 deadline. 

“We are in the final days of the ACA (Affordable Care ACT) enrollment period.  No one in DeKalb should be without health insurance so take advantage of the locations remaining and sign up for health care coverage,” said Johnson. 

Exemptions that would allow an individual to file for insurance after the March 31 deadline include job loss, marriage or relocation. 

There will be trained navigators on March 31, 5 to 8 p.m. at the Exchange Intergenerational Center, 2771 Columbia Drive, Decatur. 

Health insurance enrollees should bring their Social Security Numbers, employer and income information, policy numbers for any current health insurance plans and completed employer coverage information.
