The 2015 open enrollment deadline for the Affordable Care Act was set to expire at midnight on Sunday, but has been extended across most of the nation, including Michigan.
USA Today reported the reason for the extended delay is yet another glitch in the system. This glitch came from the IRS' website though, not HealthCare.gov, which has seen its fair share of problems.
The glitch kept some people from verifying their income, which prevented them from enrolling on the HealthCare.gov website. The problem was first reported Saturday afternoon and was later resolved that same evening, but the deadline was extended to accommodate those who could not sign up during their attempts on Saturday.
