Hello! 

 

I was wondering if my fiance should apply for health insurance when he arrives? I have great insurance with the company i work with but i know i cant add him on till we are married. Any advice is appreciated!

He must have health insurance. Now whether or not it's needed asap I dunno. But, u could do a quickly wedding (hire a ordain minister) and do the sign and drive deal. (Which is what me and my fiancé are doing). This way she will have insurance and we can start Aos asap.

Awsome, thank you! 

 

Off topic but can i ask you another question, i am worried i sent my fiance my work letter authorization too early. I gave him one signed late August and then i gave him another one late September. His interview is in a few weeks. Would i need to send him another one? If so does it have to be a wet signiture or could i email it to him?? 

 

Thank you

Wouldn't worry about that. Send him current pay stubs and u should be golden. I sent my fiancé with letter from employer that's a few months old. She has interview nov 16th and I'll send her 4 pay stubs up to the 9th of November.

Unless expecting something terrible to happen, you can look into a type of temporary insurance; but even for us, I have good health/dental/vision and all through my company as well, soon as we married I added him. We didn't stress the couple months in between honestly. There is no more penalty for not having insurance so.

Yep, I agree with this. I didn't have insurance for 9 months. I had to self-pay a couple of doctors visits, but I didn't get any kind of penalty. My wife's insurance sucks so we just waited for me to get a job with decent insurance.

And that’s fine for routine stuff, but if you’re in an accident or get appendicitis or something, that lack of insurance is reeeaalllly going to hurt. Stuff happens.
