Under the Buy-Out plan, eligible state employees and state retirees receive 25% of the full-cost monthly premium in lieu of health insurance benefits for one 12-month period of time. Employees in HR/CMS and UMASS agencies will receive the remittance monthly in their paychecks; employees of housing and other authorities and state retirees will receive a monthly check. The amount of payment depends on your health plan and coverage.
Because of the public health emergency, SNAP recipients have been receiving additional benefits each month since April 2020. The additional amount was based on the maximum allowable amount of SNAP benefits based on family size or at least $95. Due to federal guidelines, recipients will no longer receive additional benefits starting in March 2023.

The consumer electronics retailer said Tuesday it has struck a three-year deal with Atrium Health, a North Carolina-based health-care system, to help enable a hospital-at-home program. Atrium Health is part of Advocate Health, one of the country's largest health-care nonprofits.
For Best Buy, the hospital-at-home program represents the latest push to turn health care into a more meaningful revenue driver. Its health-care expansion comes as sales of other consumer electronics slow.
Over the past five years, Best Buy has acquired three health-care companies: GreatCall, which makes easy-to-use cell phones and connected health devices and provides emergency response services for aging adults; Critical Signal Technologies, another senior-focused company; and Current Health, a tech concern based in the United Kingdom that helps with remote patient monitoring and telehealth. Best Buy also sells health and wellness devices, including hearing aids and fitness trackers.
\"We want to do this thoughtfully,\" she said. \"We want to do this well. We want to create pathways that enable care at home in a more seamless manner. We want to tie technology and empathy together and really help change how health care is delivered to people in their homes.\"
He said the health-care system saw the program had lasting benefits and could work for patients with other kinds of conditions, such as people recovering from a heart condition, an infection or surgery. It costs less than hospital care and allows patients to recover while surrounded by loved ones and the comforts of home, he said.
If you are covered under a health insurance plan through other than the City of New York employer or through your spouse's health plan, you may waive your City health insurance and receive a cash incentive.
Note: Subsidies are only available if you buy a plan through the Exchange (wahealthplanfinder.org). Non-Exchange plans are plans you buy through an insurance agent, broker or directly from a company.
One of the primary goals of the ACA was to reform the individual insurance market so that anyone without employer health benefits, regardless of their health status, could find and afford a plan that provided coverage at least as comprehensive as an employer plan. Under the ACA, insurers in the individual market now must offer a plan to all who apply, cannot charge people more based on health or gender, are limited in how much more they can charge an older person relative to someone younger, and are restricted from imposing lifetime or annual benefit limits and rescissions. To help consumers choose plans, all must be sold at four tiers of coverage that vary only by premium and cost-sharing amounts. The benefit package stays the same and must cover an essential set of services. Finally, people with incomes between $24,000 and $97,000 for a family of four are eligible for premium tax credits that reduce their share of premium costs.
These changes have made a dramatic difference. In 2010, an estimated 26 million people said they either had a plan or tried to buy a health plan in the individual market over the prior three years (Exhibit 4).10 In 2016, 44 million tried to purchase coverage either through the marketplaces or directly from an insurance company. In 2010, fewer than half (46%) of people who tried to buy a plan on their own, or 12 million people, ended up purchasing one. By 2016, two-thirds (66%), or 29 million people, ended up purchasing a health plan in the preceding three years.11
In 2010, 60 percent of adults who had a plan or tried to buy a plan on their own in the individual market found it very difficult or impossible to find one they could afford (Exhibit 4). By 2016, that percentage had fallen to about one-third (34%) of people. Among people with health problems, the share of those reporting difficulties finding an affordable plan dropped from 70 percent in 2010 to 42 percent in 2016. Among those with incomes less than 200 percent of poverty, the percentage who had trouble finding a plan they could afford dropped from nearly two-thirds (64%) in 2010 to one-third (35%) in 2016. Adults with higher incomes also found it easier to find an affordable plan in 2016 compared to 2010.
Lacking health insurance for even part of the year is associated with a much higher risk of medical bill problems, particularly among people with low incomes. Nearly two-thirds (63%) of adults with incomes of less than 200 percent of poverty who had experienced a gap in their insurance coverage in 2016 reported difficulties paying medical bills or were in medical debt compared to just over a third (36%) of people in that income group who had been insured continuously (Exhibit 8). Still, these rates are high even for insured adults.
This analysis indicates the Affordable Care Act has increased health insurance coverage for U.S. adults of all races, ages, and income groups. These coverage gains are allowing working-age adults to get the health care they need. In contrast, Americans who still lack health insurance are less likely to go to the doctor when they need to or get preventive care and cancer screenings. Even a gap in coverage is often associated with a lower likelihood that someone will get timely health care.
The Commonwealth Fund Biennial Health Insurance Survey highlights the strong growth in the use of the individual market by Americans since the ACA market reforms and subsidies went into effect in 2014. The market has evolved from being a place where mostly healthy people and those with sufficient income could buy plans to one where all are offered comprehensive plans, regardless of factors like gender or health status, with income-based financial assistance to offset costs for those eligible.
