Kentucky First Lady Britainy Beshear is reminding Kentuckians to make sure they enroll in the commonwealth's health care marketplace, known as Kynect.

The deadline to enroll is January 15th. During Governor Beshear's Team Kentucky update on Thursday, the First Lady explained who is eligible to enroll in the program.

“This means if you don't have health coverage through your employer or through medicaid or Kentucky Children's Health Insurance Program, known as K-CHIP, Medicare or Tricare then you can enroll in a plan today through Kynect.”

Beshear said there is some benefit for those who sign up early.

“Kentuckians who enroll in the plan by midnight on December 15th can get a full year of coverage that starts January 1st 2025. Those who enroll after December 15th, but before January 15th, will have coverage that starts February 1st.”

If you need assistance, or if you are ready to enroll, please go to kynect.ky.gov or call 855-459-6328
