ASK OR VERIFY

In order to better understand peoples' health care needs, we'd like to learn more about how they GET their coverage. For the coverage YOU have NOW, do you get it through a job, the government or state, or some other way?

"Job" includes coverage from someone's own job as well as coverage from a spouse's or parent's job.
Include coverage through former employers and unions, and COBRA plans.
If this coverage is provided through a job with the government, state or military, consider that coverage through a job.

BEFORAFT_LC1

Did your coverage from a plan through your job start before or after January 1, 2012?
Your best estimate is fine.
When we say “coverage” we mean ANY coverage through your employer. So if you switched plans offered by the employer, or even switched employers, we still consider this all the same coverage.
