Ask more carefully
County, tax household, who needs coverage, children under 19, expected coverage-year income, employer/COBRA availability, current coverage, notices, doctors, and prescriptions all matter.
Safer screening logic
Eligibility screening must stay official and household-aware.
v1.0.20 removes crude income-threshold conclusions and uses safer language: CoveredNYC can identify what to check, but official programs, marketplaces, carriers, or authorized systems make eligibility and enrollment decisions.
Do not overclaim
Never say “you qualify,” “approved,” “best plan,” or “guaranteed better plan.” Use likely path, worth checking, and broker review required wording.
