UPP helps make health insurance more affordable for individuals and families. Basically, here’s how it works:
- First, you must apply for UPP BEFORE the date that your health insurance coverage begins (your employer health plan). If you are already enrolled in COBRA you may apply at any time.
- UPP will contact you within two weeks from receiving your application.
- Pay your monthly premiums.
- If you qualify for UPP, you will need to provide proof you have enrolled and show how much you pay in premiums.
- Then, UPP will reimburse you up to $300 per adult and up to $120 per child every month to share in the cost of your monthly premiums. A check will be mailed to you each month.
- In addition, you may be eligible to receive an additional $20 per child if he/she is enrolled in dental coverage. (Every eligible child will receive an additional $20 each month to pay for dental coverage or be enrolled in the Children’s Health Insurance Program dental plan).
