OPT- insurance

[samstrong123]

Hi,

I got my OPT approved last month. I would like to know, do I need to have health insurance when I am in between my graduation and have a health insurance from my next employer. Once I get my next employment, I will get insurance provided by them or form other party.

Let me know.

Thanks

Sam.

Always recommended to have health insurance.

If you don't have health insurance you have to pay a penalty on your next tax return.

And of course, what if you have an accident? Do you have the 10s of thousands that it may cost?

Get health insurance.
