Health Insurance: Enrollment Counselors

Open Enrollment Period Has Been Extended

The NY State of Health Open Enrollment Period for coverage in a 2022 Qualified Health Plan has been extended. Enroll by the 15th of the month for coverage starting on the first of the following month.

Enrollment in Medicaid, Child Health Plus and the Essential Plan is available year-round.

Enhanced Tax Credits and Expanded Eligibility for Financial Assistance

With the passage of the American Rescue Plan, more New Yorkers will now qualify to receive financial assistance to lower the cost of premiums.

New Yorkers with incomes above $51,040 for individuals and $104,800 for a family of four will now qualify to receive financial assistance to lower the cost of premiums.


Our counselors will:

  • Explain your health insurance and care options, regardless of your immigration status.
  • Help you and your family enroll in or renew health insurance.
  • Find out if you qualify for financial help to pay for low-cost private health insurance plan.
  • Assist you with applying for SNAP benefits (food stamps).
