Individual Mandate

The individual mandate, also called the “individual shared responsibility payment,” is no longer applicable in most states as of 2019.¹ However, your state of residence may require you and each member of your family to do at least one of the following or face a tax penalty:

• Have qualifying health coverage,
• Qualify for a health coverage exemption, or
• Make a shared responsibility payment with your state taxes.

Verify details with your state.
