Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear announced Tuesday a special enrollment period from March 2 to April 30. Beshear said the grace period is for Kentuckians who did not realize they would have to pay a tax of at least $325 for not having insurance in 2015.
Those who missed the Feb. 15 deadline and did not qualify for an exemption still have to pay a fee for any months they were not insured. But Beshear said if they sign up by April 30, they could avoid additional fees for the rest of the year.
