POLITICO — The Obama administration will extend Obamacare enrollment past Monday’s deadline for those people who have had difficulty signing up, an official said Tuesday night.
The deadline for individuals to start the sign-up process remains March 31, but they will get extra time and assistance to complete it if they’ve encountered problems. It was not immediately clear how many people this could affect, or how much extra time they would get. Details are expected to be announced Wednesday.
“Open enrollment ends March 31. We are experiencing a surge in demand and are making sure that we will be ready to help consumers who may be in line by the deadline to complete enrollment — either online or over the phone,” said Joanne Peters, a spokeswoman for the Department of Health and Human Services.
