(Harrisburg, PA) Officials in Pennsylvania have postponed to the end of December the deadline for enrolling in the state’s Affordable Care Act marketplace as consumers are trying to navigate federal uncertainties and the possibility of cost hikes that are sharp. The last day for signing up for coverage through Pennie was originally on Monday, but according to program administrators, they wanted to give consumers more time to weigh their options and choose the right plan for their households. The new deadline for this option is December 31st, 2025. You can enroll in coverage through Pennie by going to pennie.com by clicking here or call the customer service line of that program at 844-844-8040 on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
