Need an extension? Check that box now!

Do you need overage through the federal marketplace? Good news ! The Government is giving consumers more time to complete your application! But there is a catch!

HHS and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, aren't officially changing the March 31 deadline for an individual to enroll in a health plan, but they will make a special enrollment period available to consumers who start the application process by March 31 and fail to complete the process by that date.

The catch - You have until mid-April to ask for the application time extension by checking a box on HealthCare.gov.
