Appendix A:

L ist of Questions in the Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) Online Application for Employees

I. My account

Note to reviewers: To access the SHOP online application, the employee must first set up “My account.” There are two parts to setting up “My account.” The employee will first create a “lite account” which gives quick access to the SHOP. They’ll be able to use this to access or update their contact information, set communication preferences, get notices, and find out about coverage in a secure environment. When the employee wants to start a SHOP application for coverage, they’ll be asked for more information to transition to a regular account. Part of the account creation and application process is for the employee to establish identity via an authentication process. This includes entering some personal information and answering a set of “challenge” questions. We aren’t providing the list of challenge questions in order to protect the security and integrity of the system. The employee is then able to start the employee application process from within “My account.”

  1. Secondary account holder

(The primary account holder may select another individual on the application to be a secondary account holder and give them permission to view or edit the application. To do this, the primary account holder can provide the secondary account holder’s Marketplace account username or email address. For the authority to be official, the secondary account holder will receive an email requiring sign-in to his/her Marketplace account. If the individual doesn’t have an existing Marketplace account, the primary account holder can indicate that he/she should receive an email with instructions for setting up a Marketplace account.

The system then sends an email to the authorized representative for confirmation.


An individual can also create an account on someone else’s behalf by opting to become an authorized representative. The individual will be asked to upload proof of authorized representation status. Once the documentation is verified, that person can act as an authorized representative for the primary account holder.)
