You’ll be glad to know that dental insurance for the unemployed is something that might\u00a0come from\u00a0a ‘qualifying life event’ with the Affordable Care Act (ACA). By filling out the appropriate paperwork and submitting your case, there’s a possibility you could get the dental coverage you need.<\/p>\n

No dental insurance guide would be complete without mentioning the option of a dental savings plan. If you’ve never heard of it before, it helps to think of it as a kind of gym membership for the dental office. You can expect to be charged a certain amount each month but this will give you access to all kinds of deals.<\/p>\n

While it depends on the plan and the provider, you could save as much as 60% on your dental care.<\/p>\n

COBRA<\/h2>\n

If you’re not aware, COBRA is an acronym that means\u00a0Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act. This is a piece of legislation that can protect you if you’ve lost your job recently.<\/p>\n

Put in the simplest terms, COBRA can allow you to retain your employee benefits for up to 36 months. This would include dental, of course.<\/p>\n

To find out if you’re eligible, you’ll need to contact your insurance provider.<\/p>\n
