Updates
Beginning January 1, 2020, a new law requires all California residents to have health insurance or pay a penalty. This is separate from the “zeroed out” federal penalty, and your consumers should know the penalty for a family not having insurance in 2020 could be $2,000 or more. Of course, the greatest penalty is choosing to go without insurance and then receiving an emergency hospital bill of more than $100,000 or not catching a disease in time.
Covered California has partnered with the Franchise Tax Board to produce a 2020 Individual Mandate Penalty Fact Sheet that includes how to calculate a potential penalty. (Please note that the percentage of household income calculation requires knowing the consumer’s tax filing threshold. 2018 tax filing thresholds are available under the “Filing requirements: California gross income” section of the FTB’s Residency Status page, and 2019 thresholds will be posted when they’re available.)
