Health Insurance(Obamacare)
 

Just a quick question, now that we have SS. Can we qualify for this? Just wondering

Re: Health Insurance(Obamacare)
 

You can get insurance through your job or you can find your own. Unfortunately, DACA recipients were left out by the Administration; we cannot qualify for tax subsidies or use the Healthcare Exchanges coming up on Oct 1.

Re: Health Insurance(Obamacare)
 

Yeah but I was wondering...

A) Do DACA recipients HAVE TO be insured?

B) Are we subject to fines and penalties by the IRS or other branches of government, if we do not have health insurance?
