Hopper will be helping attendees understand how to enroll in the new health insurance system based on the annual open enrollment period that runs from Nov. 15 to Feb. 15.

“This class will help you determine if you qualify for a premium and/or coverage subsidy and how to apply for health insurance that offers the best value for you and your family, whether on or off the California Exchange,” Hopper said.

SBCC’s Center for Lifelong Learning launched “CLL Presents,” a lecture and special event series, inviting the community to hear from and interact with leading experts about timely, relevant subjects. These events are co-sponsored by CLL community partners and supporters in order to be available for reduced or free admission.
