Trump administration allows some leeway for last-minute Obamacare customers

Published



The Trump administration is allowing some leeway for last-minute Obamacare customers who were not able to sign up for health insurance in time for healthcare.gov’s Friday deadline.

Customers were permitted to leave their names if they couldn’t get through to the call center on healthcare.gov’s last day because of high volume. Those customers will still be able to enroll after the deadline when they receive a call back, and their coverage will begin Jan. 1, 2018.
