Next Steps

To learn more about health coverage:

• Visit your local county or tribal human services office.
• If you have a disability, Chat with a Hub expert to learn if you have additional MA options.
• Visit the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) website for general information on Minnesota health care programs.
• For general information on health care reform and the ACA, a good place to start is Health Reform information at the Kaiser Family Foundation.

You should sign up for Medical Assistance (MA) at your county or tribal human services office if you:

• Are 65 years old or older
• Get Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, or
• Have Medicare coverage.

If you are not in one of those situations, there are three ways to apply for health coverage:

• Online using MNsure.
• In person at your local county or tribal human services office. This is the best way to apply.
• Filling out a paper application and faxing it to 1-651-431-7750, or mailing it to the address listed on the form.

When you have questions or need help, use Chat with a Hub expert. This feature connects you to a DB101 Expert using live chat, phone, or secure email. Anything you talk about is private.

Chat with a Hub expert to:

• Understand your current benefits
• Get help using DB101.org
• Connect to resources
• Plan next steps
