Maryland officials are reminding residents they can check a box on their annual state income tax return to find out how they can get free or discounted health insurance through the state.
When residents check the box on their returns they agree to share some income information with the Maryland Health Connection.
Shortly after filing their taxes those who check the box will get a letter in the mail explaining their eligibility. They will have 35 days from the date of the letter to sign up for a health plan.
