2026 ACA INDIVIDUAL PLAN CHANGES BELOW!!!!!
August Flew by but ACA training has slowly started. I work with MANY different companies when it comes to who I contract with and how I train myself as an agent. Many contracting companies (not Insurnace carriers like BCBS or United) have begun the premium increase speculations. The potential for premium increases across the board are likely to be high whether you have an individual plan or a group plan. Many great plans are no longer being offered and the discussion around keeping "grandfathered" plans is happening more often then research for something new every year. With interest switching to keeping plans and renewing there are some VERY IMPORTANT changes you need to know about: your application for individual coverage WILL NOT auto renew from 2025 to 2026. You MUST resubmit an application and re request your current plan. You are required to re verify income and citizen status.
In ADDITION: your auto payment WILL NOT auto renew either from 2025 to 2026 for an ACA individual plan, you must submit a manual first time payment before 1/1/2026 to retain your plan even if you are renewing to the same plan and same carrier!!! YOU WILL LOSE COVERAGE FOR MISSED PAYMENT if you do not update auto pay after 12/2025.
