Path to Pennie™ is a new program created this tax season to connect uninsured Pennsylvanians with health coverage offered through Pennie™, PA's official health insurance marketplace. The Pennsylvania Department of Revenue and Pennie teamed up to allow uninsured tax filers the ability to get covered outside of Open Enrollment, by indicating their interest when they complete their Pennsylvania state income tax return. "We are thrilled to collaborate with our partners in the Department of Revenue to provide uninsured Pennsylvanians this unique and new opportunity to enroll in quality, health coverage," said Pennie Executive Director Zachary W. Sherman. "This tax season, tax filers will have the opportunity to access the enhanced premium savings made available through the American Rescue Plan. There has never been a better time to access health coverage that's within budget."Uninsured Pennsylvanians will be able to indicate they are without health insurance through a new optional tax form called, REV-1882 'Health Insurance Coverage Information Request.' This form creates a simple and straightforward way for tax filers to indicate that they, their spouse, and/or dependents do not have health coverage and are interested in learning more about the services provided by Pennie. Those who fill out form REV-1882 will receive an official postal notice from Pennie with instructions on how to enroll in coverage beginning in April 2022.
