Hi, I called the Connector assister line this morning and at the end of our conversation was given a folder number. There was no response to my question of when did this happen or why. The representative just stated that it would make it easier to find the client. Has anyone heard about this […]

Called the assister line and the CSR states that there is no way to reset these questions. Has anyone encounter this before? Any suggestions on […]
Hi all, The Health Connector’s estimator doesn’t seem to work anymore – it just tells you that someone should or should not qualify for APTCs, not how much they should be. It’s been like this for months…. So, I’ve been using this tool, from the Kaiser Foundation: http://kff.org/interactive/subsidy-calculator/ , when I need to estimate what someone’s […]
