New members with an Individual and Family Affordable Care Act (ACA) plan with an effective date of Jan. 1, 2021, now have until 11:59 p.m. on Jan. 25, to pay their first month’s premium. Although the payment deadline is extended, members must pay before they can use their benefits.
 
The Jan. 25 extension DOES NOT apply to renewing ACA members. It only applies to new members with a Jan. 1, 2021, effective date.
