Covered California offers assistance for individuals involved in labor disputes

To comply with new state law (PDF), effective July 1, 2023, Covered California must offer financial assistance for individuals who lose Minimal Essential Coverage from an employer due to a labor dispute. And, starting January 1, 2024, the Exchange must offer zero-deductible for any covered benefit if the standard benefit design for this income has zero deductibles.

The program must include premium assistance and cost-sharing reduction subsidies and apply to Californians who lose minimum essential coverage due to a strike, lockout, or other labor dispute. Those individuals must meet all federal eligibility requirements except for income and will receive the same assistance provided to individuals with incomes of 138.1 % of the Federal Poverty Level.

Please contact your Anthem representative for more information.
