Annual Eligibility Renewal Notice

This notice is sent once a year, in the fall. It is a reminder of the upcoming annual open enrollment period and a reminder to make sure MNsure has your up-to-date information for the new year.

This notice explains your household’s eligibility for enrolling in coverage through MNsure for the coming year based on the information we currently have on your household. It will tell you if you or members of your household qualify to enroll through MNsure, and if so, if they are eligible for any financial assistance like cost-sharing reductions or premium tax credits.

This notice is NOT about how to renew your health or dental plan coverage.
