Are you working with a Minnesotan who needs health insurance but missed the chance to sign up during open enrollment? This tax season, MNsure has a new opportunity for them to get covered. It starts with their state income taxes. 

When consumers do their taxes, they can check the MNsure box on the Form M1 (individual income tax form). After they file their taxes, they will get a letter from MNsure about coverage options and next steps.

Steps to take when working with a consumer who is new to MNsure:

1. Create a MNsure an account
2. Complete an application for coverage
3. Have the consumer associate with you
4. If the consumer is eligible for a qualified health plan (QHP), contact MNsure to open shopping

The consumer will have a 65-day SEP to apply and enroll in a qualified health plan, if eligible. Learn more about this path to coverage at /new-customers/enrollment-deadlines/special-enrollment/state-income-taxes/index.jspMNsure.org/statetaxes.
