It usually covers in retrospect, although it may be a PITA to get the money.

So I got my ins cards but i wasn't approved for hmo how long should that take ?

[churnbabychurn]

Do it over phone, automated system. Shouldnt be long IIRC

[zipo4me]

LLRC told me to go through Healthgov, I wouldn't suggest anyone doing that.
It's takiing much longer, and Jersey Care keeps saying the Marketplace didn't send them my info yet.
It's been like 6 weeks.

I think most in Lakewood take UHC.

[metziah]

Does it take till the end if the month for the HMO to take effect ( as in the past) or is it instant?

[churnbabychurn]

I think most in Lakewood take UHC.

+1 definitely the most comprehensive.

Does anyone have experience with going above the income limit? I remember something about a two year extension. Is that just for the kids or for the whole family?

If your income increases due to a new job, you write a letter to your caseworker saying that you got a new job and your income is now above the limit and that you are requesting a 2 year extension.

This will give the entire family coverage for another 2 years while you get yourself settled in your new job, enable you time to ensure that you will be keeping that job - and gives you time to look for a new insurance plan.

Does it make a difference if you are now self-employed? W2 or 1099?

If you are self employed they may give you a hard time, requiring that you prove and document all items of income and expense. Be very careful how you report self employment income..

How can you notify a 'caseworker'? These days are there still caseworkers? They just have a number from A-L and M-Z the last time I checked. How can you let them know?

[MarkS]

Fax in a letter with your case number   732-914-5164

What do you mean by "be very careful"?

[Deal Guy]

Do you need to do it 2 weeks after you get a job, or can you wait 3 months until you are up for renewal and then let them know. That letter will anyways take a few months until someone gets to see and process it?
