No application for the subsidies is required, as existing information in Government databases will be used to determine your subsidies.
However, as some of the information in official records may not be fully updated, you may wish to verify your household members using the online Household Check tool here:
Household check for Medishield Life Subsidies
This will help to ensure that you and your family members receive the correct amount of Premium Subsidies for which you are eligible.
Today (19 June) is the last date to verify your household members so you may want to do it today if you haven’t done so. Only one member in each household is required to do so.
