Minnesotans who received unemployment income at any time in 2021 now have access to extremely low-cost health insurance through MNsure.

The new benefits were implemented as part of the American Rescue Plan legislation enacted earlier this year. New federal subsidies for private health insurance on MNsure act as an instant discount for consumers, lowering the cost for monthly premiums.

MNsure encourages anyone who received unemployment income for at least one week in 2021 to visit MNsure.org to check out their options. Current MNsure enrollees who qualify also can use this opportunity to change to a lower-premium plan.
