Nakuba imithetho kahulumeni imisa isisekelo sonke, isifundazwe ngasinye sinquma inzuzo yaso siqu nezindinganiso zezokwelapha. Lokhu kuvumelana kwezinga lombuso kusho ukuthi ukukwazi uku-edicaid enziwa kanye nezinzuzo kungahluka kakhulu kuye ngokuthi uhlalaphi. Ezizweni ezinwetshwayo, abantu abadala bafanelekela uma iholo lingaphansi kuka-888% we-Federal Poverty Level (FPL), eye yanwetshwa kakhulu ezigidi zamaMelika angaphambili ayengathandwanga.
Ngo-2026, isilinganiso seholo siye salungiswa ukuze kuboniswe ushintsho olubizayo oluphilayo. Izifunda eziningi zandisa isilinganiso semali eziyitholayo eMdicaid ngo-2026, zinyusa isivalo esivamile sokunakekela isikhathi eside kusukela kuR2,901 kuya kuR2,982 kwabacela oyedwa. Nokho, kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi i-eligion ihluka ngokwezwe nangohlobo lohlelo, ezinye izifunda zisebenzisa imithetho edingayo noma ezisebenzisa imali ephansi uma iholo lidlula isilinganiso esivamile.
I-Medicaid insurensi abantu abahola imali ephansi futhi inikeza abantu izinzuzo zezokwelapha zamahhala noma eziphansi ukuze bafaneleke.

Imedicare inezingxenye eziningana, ngayinye ihlanganisa izici ezihlukahlukene zokunakekela impilo. Ingxenye A imboze umshuwalense wasesibhedlela, kuhlanganise nokuhlala ezibhedlela, ukunakekelwa kwasebegugile, ukunakekelwa kwempilo, nokunakekelwa kwasekhaya. Ingxenye B ihlanganisa umshuwalense wezokwelapha, kuhlanganise nokuhanjelwa kwadokotela, izinkonzo zokuvikela, nemishini yezokwelapha. Ingxenye C, eyaziwa nangokuthi iMedicare Conficure, inikeza enye indlela yokwamukela izinzuzo zeMedicare ngezinhlangano zomshuwalense. Ingxenye ye-D inikeza i-actal translation.
Abantu abaningi abakhokhi intela yengxenye A uma bona noma abashade nabo bekhokha intela lapho besebenza. Nokho, iNgxenye B idinga imali ekhokhelwayo nyanga zonke, futhi imali ingahlukahluka ngokwemali eholweni. Ukuqonda indlela iMedicare ehambisana ngayo neminye imishuwalense kubalulekile, ikakhulukazi kulabo abaqhubeka besebenza beneminyaka engaphezulu kwengu-65 noma abanezinzuzo zempilo zomhlalaphansi.
Uhlelo lwezingane lomshuwalense wezempilo (CHIP)
I-Child’s Health Inshuwarence Program (CHIP) iyisimiso sombuso esihlangene esinikeza izingane ezingahlawulwanga impilo emikhayeni enemali ephakeme kakhulu ukuba zingawufanelekela uMedicaid, kodwa iphansi kakhulu ukuba ikwazi ukukhokhela icebo lempilo langasese noma leqembu. Loluhlelo lugcwalisa igebe elibucayi emikhayeni esebenzayo ehola imali eningi kakhulu ukuba ifanelekele i-Medicaid kodwa izama ukuthenga umshuwalense.
Amazinga e-Medicaid ne-CIP Eligigable ayahluka ngokwezwe futhi angahluka kusukela ku-170% kuya ku-400% wenani lobumpofu eliphakathi kwe-Federal (FPL). I-CHPIP ngokuvamile ingeyomkhaya oneholo eliphakathi kuka-200% no-300% we-Federal Poverty Lequence (FPL), nakuba izingeno eziqondile zixhomeke emklamweni wohlelo wombuso wakho.
Isimiso soMshuwalense wezempilo wabantwana (CHIP) sinikeza izingane izinzuzo zempilo ezibanzi, futhi ngoba izifundazwe zingaklama uhlelo lwazo lwe-CHIP ngaphakathi kweziqondiso zikahulumeni, izinzuzo ziyahluka ngohlobo lwezwe nohlobo lwe-CHIP. Naphezu kwalokhu kuhluka, zonke izinhlelo ze-CHIP kumelwe zihlanganise izinkonzo ezibalulekile.
Izwe kumelwe lihlanganise izinkonzo zokuvikela ze-CHIP njengezokugoma nokuhlola, futhi kumelwe bahlanganise nokunakekela amazinyo, ukunakekela amehlo, ukunakekela iziguli ezigulayo, izinkonzo eziphuthumayo, ama-active, umsebenzi wase-openthics kanye nezinye. Lokhu kukhokhelwa okubanzi kuqinisekisa ukuthi izingane zithola ukunakekelwa ezikudingayo ukuze zikhule futhi zikhule kahle.
Intuthuko ebalulekile yamuva nje iwukuthi izinyanga ezingu-12 ze-CIP no-Medicaid eziqhubekayo zezingane ezineminyaka engaphansi kwengu-19 ubudala--ke kwaba yinzuzo engenziwa ngokuzithandela ezifundazweni ----kuba yisibopho. Le lungiselelo lokuhlanganisa eliqhubekayo lisiza izingane ukuba zigcine ukukwazi ukungenela izinkonzo zezempilo ngaphandle kwegebe elingaholela ekulahlekelweni ukunakekelwa noma ukuphuthelwa kwempatho.
Abahlali Bezindaba Zokunakekelwa Kwempilo
Isimiso sezempilo seVeterans Affairs (VA) sinikeza izinkonzo ezibanzi zezokwelapha komakad ’ ebona abaye basebenza kwezempi laseU.S. i - VA isebenza esinye sezimiso zezokunakekela impilo ezinkulu kakhulu ezweni, nezibhedlela, imitholampilo, nezindawo zokunakekela ezikhethekile kuzo zonke izifundazwe ezingu - 50.
I-VA menutations yezempilo isekelwe ezicini eziningana ezihlanganisa umlando wenkonzo yezempi, ukuphuma kwemisebenzi, ukukhubazeka okuxhunyiwe, izinga leholo, nezinye izimo ezikhethekile. Abantu abakhubazekile abakwazi ukuxhumana nenkonzo bathola ukubhalisela phambili futhi bangathola izinzuzo ezengeziwe. I-VA inikeza izinkonzo eziningi ezihlanganisa ukunakekela okuyinhloko, ukunakekelwa okukhethekile, izinkonzo zempilo yengqondo, imithi kadokotela, kanye nezinketho zokunakekela ezithatha isikhathi eside.
Esinye isici esiyingqayizivele sokunakekela impilo yama-VA siwukuthi isebenzisa inxanxathela yayo yezindawo kanye namakadebona, nakuba ingase futhi ithole ukunakekelwa ngabaphathi bomphakathi ezimweni ezithile. Abase-Vertan kufanele baqonde iqembu eliza kuqala lokubhalisa, ngoba lokhu kunquma ukuthi bayakwazi ukukhokha izinkonzo nanoma iziphi izimfuneko zokukhokha abangase babe nazo.
Umthetho Wokunakekela Ongantengantengi Nohlelo Lokudayisa
I-Affordble Care Act (ACA), eyaziwa futhi nangokuthi i-Obamacare, yadala izigcawu zempilo lapho abantu nemikhaya ingathenga khona ukuze ikhokhe futhi ithole usizo lwezimali ukuze ithengise umshuwalense. Ukuqonda indlela amapulani entengiselwano adingekayo ngayo nakanjani izimali ezidingekayo kulabo abangafaneleki ezimisweni zikahulumeni njengo-Medicaid noma i-Medicare.
Izitolo Nezikweletu Zentela Eziphambili
Uma uthenga umshuwalense wezempilo eMakethe/eshintshile, ungafaneleka ukuba ukhokhelwe imali esekelwe emalini engakhokhelwa engase ihlanganise ingxenye enkulu yemali oyikhokhayo nyanga zonke. Lemali ekhokhelwayo, ebizwa ngokusemthethweni ngokuthi izikweleti zentela, iklanyelwe ukwenza umshuwalense wempilo uthengeke kubantu baseMelika abahlawulwayo abaphakathi nabangaphansi.
Nokho, kuye kwaba nezinguquko ezinkulu ekuncipheni kwemali ngo-2026. Iwa "eliphansi" liye labuya ngo-2026, okusho ukuthi izimali zikahulumeni azisatholakali kunoma ubani onemali yasekhaya engaphezulu kuka-400% wesilinganiso sobumpofu obungu-2025. Lokhu kusho ushintsho olukhulu kulokhu kusekelana kwemali okuthuthukisiwe okwakukhona kusukela ngo-2021 kuya ku-202525.
Uma iholo lakho laminyaka yonke lingaphansi kuka - R2 660 ngomuntu ngamunye, uR2 600 emkhayeni onamaRandi angu - 1 0,66 ngomkhaya onabanengu - $128,76 (R180), ungase ufanelekele ukukhokha izikweletu zentela ezisiza ekukhokheleni izindleko zakho ngonyaka ozayo.
Imali encishisiwe isuka ku 100% we-FPL kuya ku-400% ye-FPL, futhi ku-obhayijisi abafundekayo, isilinganiso esingaphansi kwe-asmidy sisekelwe eholweni labo elilungisiweyo elingu-ACA (MAGI) kanye nezindleko zepulani yebhentshi yesiliva eliphansi kakhulu elikhona endaweni yentengiso. Lokhu kusho ukuthi imali yakho yangempela engaphansi ixhomeke kukho kokubili inzuzo yakho kanye nezindleko zamapulani endaweni yakho.
Izithako Nezinhlobo Zohlelo Ezibizayo
Ngaphandle kwezikweleti zentela ezikhokhelwayo, abantu abafanelekayo bangafanelekela futhi ukuncishiswa kwezindleko zemali (CSR) ezinciphisa izindleko ze-pocket njengemali engakhokhwayo, imali ekhokhwayo, nemali ekhokhwayo. Ngokuxhomeke emalini oyitholayo, wena nomkhaya wakho ningase nifanelekele imali eyengeziwe elondolozweyo ebizwa ngokuthi "ukuncishiswa kwemali eshisiwe" ngepulani lesiliva, okuyonciphisa intengo yakho esebenzayo nenkokhelo.
Amapulani entengiselwano afakwa ezihlahleni zensimbi − i-Bronze, iSilver, igolide, ne-Platinum . kuya ngokuthi izindleko zisetshenziswa kanjani phakathi kwakho nenkampani yomshuwalense. Amapulani eBronze ngokuvamile anezindleko eziphansi kakhulu zanyanga zonke kodwa eziphakeme kakhulu ngaphandle kwe-packet uma udinga ukunakekelwa, kuyilapho amapulani ePlatinum anezindleko eziphakeme kodwa eziphansi kakhulu. Imali yesiliva iyinkokhelo engcono kakhulu kulabo abafanelekela ukuncitshiswa kwezindleko zemali, njengoba lezinzuzo ezikhushuliwe zitholakala kuphela nge-Silver-m.
Amasu enhlekelele nawo akhona kubantu abathile. Kusukela ngo-2026, ukukhulula kobunzima kuyondisa ukuhluleka kwanoma ubani ongafaneleki ukuba agcine imali egciniwe eMakethe ngenxa yemali yakhe, uma lamacebo enziwa endaweni yakini. Lamacebo avame ukuba nemali ephansi kakhulu kodwa aphakeme, okwenza ukuba afaneleke kakhulu kulabo abafuna isivikelo ezicathulweni ezimbi kakhulu.
Izikhathi Zokubhalisa Nezifile
Ukuqonda izikhathi zokubhalisa kubalulekile ukuze kufinyelelwe emakethe. Ezifundazweni eziningi, uJanuary 15 uwusuku lokugcina lokubhalisa epulanini lezentengiselwano ngo-2026, nakuba ezinye izifundazwe zithathe isikhathi eside.
Ukungasitholi isikhathi sokubhalisela obala akusho ukuthi awusakwazi ukuthatha izinketho. Izikhathi ezikhethekile zokubhalisela i-E org (SEP) zikuvumela ukuba ubhalise ngaphandle kwefasitela lokubhalisela uma uhlangabezana nezenzakalo ezithile zokuphila, njengokulahlekelwa ezinye izenzakalo zempilo, ukushada noma ukudivosa, ukuba nomntwana noma ukutholwa kwengane, noma ukuthuthela endaweni entsha yokubhalisa. Usuke unezinkathi ezingu-60 ubhale izenzakalo ezifanele.
Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi ungafaka isicelo ku-Medicaid no CHIP nganoma isiphi isikhathi sonyaka, njengoba lezizinhlelo zingenayo inkathi elinganiselwe yokufunda. Uma usebenzisa emakethe futhi ubonakala ufanelekela i-Medicaid noma i-CHPIP, uhlelo lwakho luzothunyelwa enxuseni lezwe lakho lokulungisa.
Ukugcinwa Kwempilo Nezinketho Zentela Eziwusizo
IHealth Savings Akhawunti (HSS) inikeza indlela enamandla yokulondoloza izindleko zokwelapha kuyilapho ijabulela izinzuzo zentela ezinkulu. Ukuqonda indlela iHSA esebenzayo esebenzayo nokuthi ufanelekile yini kungakusiza ukuba ukhulise amaRandi akho okunakekela impilo futhi uhlele izidingo zokwelapha zesikhathi esizayo.
Ukukwazi Ukubhekana Ne - HSA Eyandisiwe Ngo - 2026
Ngenxa ye-Working Families Trump Trump Trump, amapulani eMsika angu-2026 — kuhlanganise nawo wonke amapulani empilo eBronze neCatastrophic — manje sebenzisa ama-akhawunti eHealth Savings ukuze usize ukhokhe ingxenye yakho yezindleko zokunakekela impilo. Lokhu kwanda kwandisa ngokuphawulekayo inani labantu abangazuza ezinzuzoni zentela yase-HSA.
Ngo-2026, amasu empilo aphezulu athengwa ngokuthi amaHDHP) umshuwalense wempilo okumelwe abe no-R2,50 okwazi ukukhokhelwa umuntu ngamunye noma u-R2 400 ukuze akhokhelwe umkhaya. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ama-asethi aphezulu angonyaka angedluli imingcele ethile, aqinisekisa ukuthi ama HDHP anikeza isivikelo esiyinhlekelele kuyilapho alondoloza isakhiwo esiphezulu kakhulu esingenza i-HS ikwazi ukudlula i-HS.
Kusukela ngoJan. 1, 2026, umuntu ofanelekayo obhaliwe ekunakekeleni okuthile okuyinhloko (DPC) angase anikele kuyiHSA, futhi angase asebenzise iHSA intela yemali yawo ekhululekile ukuze akhokhe intela ye-DPC yezikhathi ezithile. Lokhu kuphawula ukuthandwa okukhulayo kwezibonelo eziyinhloko zokunakekela futhi kwandisa ukufinyelela i-HSA izinzuzo zalabo abakhetha lendlela yokunikeza i-HSA.
Izinzuzo Ze - HSA Neminye Iminikelo
Ama-akhawunti ezempilo anikeza izinzuzo eziningana zentela: ungasusa iminikelo yentela eholweni lakho elikhokhelwayo, ongasebenzisiyo e-akhawuntini nasemiqophini ephansi unyaka nonyaka, futhi noma iyiphi inzalo ehlawulwayo ayikhokhi. Lenzuzo yentela emithathu yenza i-HS ibe ngenye yezimoto ezinamandla kakhulu ezikhona ukuze kusetshenziswe izindleko zempilo.
I-HS inikeza ithuba elivumelanayo nezinye izindlela zokugcinwa kwemali zezokwelapha ezinganikezi. Ngokungafani namanye ama-akhawunti omhlalaphansi, akudingeki ukuba ususe imali emalini lapho uneminyaka ethile ubudala, uyenze ibe ithuluzi elikhulu lokukhokhela hhayi izindleko zokwelapha kuphela, kodwa njengemoto eyengeziwe egciniwe ukuze uthathe umhlala-phantsi. Lokhu kusho ukuthi ungayivumela i-HSA yakho ikhule phakathi neminyaka yakho yokusebenza futhi uyisebenzise ukuze ukhokhele izindleko zempilo emhlalaphansi lapho izindleko zezokwelapha ziyanda.

Izimali ngokuvamile azinakusetshenziswa ekuhleleni izikhokhelo, ngaphandle kwezinhlobo ezithile zokukhokha njenge-COBRA, i-Medicare, kanye nomshuwalense wokunakekela isikhathi eside.
Enye indlela esebenzayo iwukukhokha izindleko zamanje zezokwelapha ngaphandle kwe-packet uma ukwazi ukwenza kanjalo, uvumela i-HSA yakho ukuba ikhule ingenantela ngokutshala imali. Ungazikhokhela lezindleko eminyakeni eminingi kamuva, uma nje ugcina imvume efanelekile nezindleko zenzeka ngemva kokuba usungule i-HSA yakho. Lelisu likhulisa izinga lokukhula kwesikhathi eside le-akhawunti yakho.
Indlela Yokuthola Izinhlelo Zokunakekela Impilo
Ukuthola izinhlelo zosizo lwezempilo kudinga ukuqonda inqubo yohlelo, ukuqoqa amaxwebhu adingekile, nokwazi ukuthi ungaphendukelaphi ukuze uthole usizo. Inqubo iyahluka kuye ngokuthi ukhetha luphi uhlelo, kodwa kukhona izinto ezivamile nemithombo ekhona ekusizeni.
Izinqubo zohlelo kanye nesivumelo sithombe esishiwo
Ukuze izinhlelo zokunakekela impilo zingene, izakhamuzi zidinga ukusebenzisa ngezindlela ezisemthethweni. Lokhu kungahilela ukunikeza ubufakazi bokungayekethisi, imvume yeholo, noma amarekhodi enkonzo yezempi. Izincwadi eziqondile ezidingekayo zixhomeke esimisweni nasezimweni zakho.
Yakha i-akhawunti nge-Heal Health Inshorence Mectorsm ugcwalise isicelo, futhi uma sifana nomuntu othile ekhaya lakho ofanelekela i-Medicaid, ulwazi lwakho luzothunyelwa enxuseni lombuso futhi luzothintana nawe ngokubhalisa. Le nqubo egcwele isho ukuthi ungafaka isicelo sezinhlelo eziningi ngesicelo esisodwa.
Izimfuneko ezivamile zemibhalo zihlanganisa ubufakazi be-inte (njengelayisense yokushayela noma i-passs), izinombolo ze-Social Security yamalungu onke endlu, ubufakazi bemali eholayo (imali ekhokhelwayo, intela, noma izitatimende zabaqashi), ubufakazi besizwe noma ubukho basemthethweni, kanye nokwaziswa nganoma isiphi isikhokhelo somshuwalense wempilo samanje. Ukuba nalezi zincwadi ezilungiselelwe ngaphambi kokuba uqale isicelo sakho kungasheshisa kakhulu lenqubo.
Izinhlelo eziningi zenza izinhlelo eziningi zokusebenza ukuze kuhlangatshezwane nezimo ezihlukile. Ungasebenzisa i-inthanethi yakho ngocingo, ngomnxeba onikezelwe, ngeposi usebenzisa izinhlelo zephepha, noma umuntu emahhovisi endawo noma izenzakalo zokubhalisela. Izinhlelo zo-Online zivame ukunikeza izikhathi zokulungisa ezisheshayo futhi zikuvumele ukuba ulondoloze intuthuko yakho futhi ubuye uma kudingeka.
Kutholwa usizo ngezinhlelo zokusebenza
Akudingeki ukuba usebenzise inqubo yokusebenza wedwa. Usizo olukhululekile lukhona ngezindlela eziningana. Abaqondisi nabeluleki bezinhlelo abagunyazisiweyo baqeqeshelwe ukukusiza ukuba uqonde ukukhetha kwakho, izinhlelo eziphelele, futhi ubhalise i-compress. Laba basizi bakhona emiphakathini kulo lonke izwe futhi banganikeza usizo ngaphandle kwenkokhelo.
Amanxusa omshuwalense namanxusa agunyaziwe okudayisa amapulani ezimakethe nawo angakusiza ukuba uqhathanise amasheya futhi ubhalise izikhokhelo.
Kukhona nemithombo eqondile yombuso. Izifunda eziningi zisebenzisa izimakethe zazo zempilo namaqembu enkonzo yamakhasi azinikele kanye nosizo lokubhalisa endaweni. Amanxusa kaMetediid kahulumeni angasiza nge-Medicaid nezinhlelo ze-CIP kanye nemibuzo emayelana nokuvuleka komsebenzi nezinzuzo. Kumadolofe, abaqondisi be-VABLABS ingasiza ekubhaliseni nasekuchazeni izinzuzo ezikhona.
Izinhlangano zomphakathi, kuhlanganise nezikhungo zezempilo, imitapo, nezinhlangano zezenhlalakahle, zivame ukunikeza izenzakalo zokubhalisa futhi zinikeze usizo lokufaka isicelo. Lemithombo yendawo ingaba usizo kakhulu uma ukhetha usizo ku-pperson noma unemibuzo mayelana nendlela izinhlelo zokunakekela impilo esebenza ngayo emphakathini wakini.
Ukuqonda Ukuzimisela Ukuphumelela
Ngemva kokunikeza isicelo sakho, uzothola ukuzimisela kokungakholeki okuchaza ukuthi yiziphi izinhlelo ofanelekela zona kanye naluphi usizo lwezimali ongaluthola. Uma kubonakala sengathi ukhona ekhaya lakho ofanelekela uMedicaid noma u-CIP, izimakethe zizothumela ulwazi lwakho ngokuqinisekisekiyo kwinxusa lezwe lakho futhi umbuso wakho uzothintana nawe mayelana nokubhalisa.
Uma uthola ukuthi ufanele ukukhokhelwa ngemali yokuxhasa izimakethe, ukuzimisela kwakho kuzakuchaza inani lemali yokukhokha intela ekhokhwayo oyifanelekelayo nokuthi ufanelekela yini ukwehliswa kwezindleko. Lokhu kwaziswa kukusiza ukuba uqhathanise amacebo futhi uqonde izindleko zakho zangempela zemali yokukhokha intela ehlukahlukene.
Uma ungavumelani nokuzimisela kobungane, unelungelo lokudlulisa. Uhlelo ngalunye lunezinqubo eziqondile zokudlulisa nokuthatha isikhathi, ngakho kubalulekile ukuthatha isinyathelo ngokushesha uma ukholelwa ukuthi kwenziwe iphutha. Amalungelo okudlulisa nokukhipha izinqubo kufanele kuchazwe ngesaziso sakho sokuzinza.
Ukucatshangelwa Okukhethekile Nabantu
Izakhamuzi ezithile zibhekene nezimo ezihlukile lapho zingena ezimisweni zokunakekela impilo. Ukuqonda lokhu kucabangela okukhethekile kungakusiza ukuba uqiniseke ukuthi uthola zonke izinzuzo ozifanele futhi ugweme izihibe ezingase zibe khona.
Abafuduki Nokunakekelwa Kwempilo Kuyavalwa
Isimo sokuthutha sithinta ukuvuleka kohlelo lokunakekela impilo ngezindlela eziyinkimbinkimbi.
