Hello from the Capitol!
This week, I met with the Burnsville Fire Chief, BJ Jungmann. It was great to discuss important issues related to public safety with him.
I also had the pleasure of meeting with Michael Shelton and Robert Scullen, both of Burnsville, regarding disabilities issues.
I was also shadowed this week by Ava Holtz. She is involved with the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA). FCCLA is a career and technical student organization.
Health Insurance Update and Clarification:
Since the passage of Senate File 1 last week, there have been some developments worth sharing:
- There is a one week enrollment extension from February 1st – February 8th
- Medica, which is only available through MNsure, is below its enrollment cap and will accept new enrollees from January 31st -February 8th
- If you qualify for the 25% premium reduction, no action is required on your end, you will receive it automatically. (In order to qualify, you must have bought the plan on the individual market and not received a federal health insurance tax credit).
Legislative Commission on Pensions and Retirement:
Last week, I was appointed to the Legislative Commission on Pensions and Retirement. I look forward to serving in this important role this session.
If you ever have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding any issue related to state government, please feel free to contact me at either 651-296-5387 or rep.roz.peterson@house.mn.
Sincerely,
