Some senators and their staff are experiencing at least one Obamacare-related hardship: confusion over whether they have been enrolled and will receive coverage on January 1. Earlier today, Senate staffers received an e-mail saying that even if they received confirmation from DC Health Link, the district’s exchange, that they’ve enrolled in a plan, they shouldn’t assume they’re actually enrolled unless they’ve also gotten a letter from the Senate’s Disbursing Office saying they are.
The Disbursing Office told staffers it was “essential” to contact them in order to verify that they had successfully enrolled.
“Do NOT rely on your ‘My Account’ page or other correspondence from DCHL,” the e-mail reads. “Please DO NOT ASSUME you are covered unless you have seen the Confirmation Letter from the Disbursing Office!”
Staffers who thought they were enrolled but haven’t heard from the Disbursement Office are instructed to send an e-mail to the office — not the Washington exchange — with personal information and a sentence explaining they haven’t heard from the office. They’ll be given a “Special Enrollment Period” that will still allow them to be covered by January 1.
OH the JOYs of automation!
which have to be verified off-line
HA!
screw every one of them
But when the feral government fails at something, it's always because we didn't "invest" enough tax extortion into it.
Agreed. The 0bamacare nightmare goes on and on and on. Our lords and masters elite servants should have the opportunity to share in that happiness.
May they all break a leg on Jan 1.
Is anyone supposed to inform the hundreds of thousands of NON-Senate-staffers who enrolled, or are they supposed to trust the glitchy POS website?
Nothing would please me more than to see these peeps in turmoil when they need to prove coverage.
This is such an unmitigated tragedy that years from now we will be asking ourselves just how did it happen. That is, if years from now the Marxists will allow us to ask anything.
Suck it up, get rid of this mess or shut up.
PERFECT THIS IS GREAT
