Insurance Partnership Income Ceilings Increased

The income ceilings for the Insurance Partnership, the state and federally funded program that helps small business (including the self-employed) and their qualified workers pay for company-sponsored health insurance, have been increased.

If qualified for the Insurance Partnership both the business and employee receive assistance paying for their company-sponsored health insurance. Businesses can receive up to $1,000 per year for each eligible employee, while the employee’s monthly premiums can be reduced to as little as $27 per month depending on their income level. With this assistance, health insurance becomes much more affordable for the business and the employee.

For additional information and eligibility requirements of the Insurance Partnership please call 781-830-8282.
