Time is running out to make changes to your health plan in Washington Healthplan Finder
This is the time to make sure important updates have been made.
Hello {first_name}!
There are 12 days left in this Open Enrollment Period to make sure your coverage and eligibility is updated for the 2025 benefit year.
Even if your plan is still working well for you and you have reviewed any cost changes for next year, you may be missing out on an important update.
During tax-time, the most common call I receive is 'I just tried to file my taxes and I found out that I owe the IRS. My tax preparer told me it's because I haven't reported my income correctly in Washington HealthPlanFinder. Can you help?"
By the time I receive this call, it is too late to make changes to the tax filing in question. Instead, we can only attempt to prevent the issue from occurring again.
All this to say, this is the time to make sure your income is reported accurately for your 2025 coverage and that you are receiving the correct amount of premium assistance.
The following common types of income should be counted:
- Federal taxable wages,
- Alimony from divorces and separations finalized before January 1, 2019,
- Capital gains
- Investment income,
- Rental income,
- Retirement and pension income,
- Self-employment income,
- Social Security,
- Tips,
- Unemployment compensation
