  • Marketplace plans that offer comprehensive coverage to help you stay well

  • A tax credit that can immediately help lower your premiums for health coverage.

  • Free or low-cost coverage through Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Certain income levels may qualify for free or low-cost programs.

  • Use this application to apply for anyone in your household.

  • Apply even if you, your spouse, or your child already have health coverage. You could be eligible for free or lower-cost coverage.

  • If you’re single, you may be able to use a short form. Visit HealthCare.gov.

  • Households that include eligible immigrants can apply. You can apply for your child even if you aren’t eligible for coverage. Applying won’t affect your immigration status or chances of becoming a permanent resident or citizen.

  • If someone is helping you fill out this application, you may need to complete Appendix C.

  • Social Security Numbers (SSNs) (or document numbers for any eligible immigrants who need coverage).

  • Employer and income information for everyone in your household (like from pay stubs, W-2 forms, or wage and tax statements).

  • Policy numbers for any current health insurance.

  • Information about any job-related health insurance available to your household.


We ask about income and other information to let you know what coverage you qualify for and if you can get any help paying for it. We’ll keep all the information you provide private and secure, as required by law. For the Privacy Act Statement, visit HealthCare.gov, or check the instructions.

Make a copy to keep, then send your complete, signed application to the address on page 10. If you don’t have all the information we ask for, sign and submit your application anyway. We’ll follow up with you within 1–2 weeks, and you may get

a call from the Marketplace if we need more information. You’ll get an Eligibility

Notice in the mail after we process your application. If you don’t hear from us, contact the Marketplace Call Center. Filling out this application doesn’t mean you have to buy health coverage.

Who do you need to include on this application?

Complete the Step 2 pages for each person in your household, even if the person has health coverage already. The information in this application helps us make sure everyone gets the best coverage they can. The amount of help or type of program you qualify for is based on the number of people in your household and your household income. If you don’t include someone, even if they already have health coverage, your eligibility results could be affected

Shape21

For adults who need coverage

Include these people even if they aren’t applying for health coverage for themselves:

  • Any spouse.

  • Any child under age 21 they live with, including stepchildren.

  • Any other person on the same federal income tax return (including any children over age 21 who are claimed on a parent’s tax return). You don’t need to file taxes to get health coverage

For children under age 21 who need coverage

Include these people even if they aren’t applying for health coverage themselves:

  • Any parent (or stepparent) they live with.

  • Any sibling they live with.

  • Any child they live with, including stepchildren.

Start with yourself, then add other adults and children. If you have more than 2 people in your household, you’ll need to make a copy of the pages and attach them.

You don’t need to provide immigration status or SSNs for household members who don’t need health coverage. We’ll keep all the information you provide private and secure, as required by law. We’ll use personal information only to check if you’re eligible for health coverage.

Shape101

Shape102

If anyone on your application is enrolled in Marketplace coverage and is later found to have other qualifying health coverage (like Medicare, Medicaid, or CHIP), the Marketplace will automatically end their Marketplace plan coverage. This will help make sure that anyone who’s found to have other qualifying coverage won’t stay enrolled in Marketplace coverage and have to pay full cost.

I agree to allow the Marketplace to end the Marketplace coverage of the people on my application in this situation.

I don’t give the Marketplace permission to end Marketplace coverage in this situation. I understand that the affected people on my application will no longer be eligible for financial help and must pay full cost for their Marketplace plan

If anyone on this application is eligible for Medicaid:

  • I’m giving to the Medicaid agency our rights to pursue and get any money from other health insurance, legal settlements, or other third parties. I’m also giving to the Medicaid agency rights to pursue and get medical support from a spouse or parent.

  • Does any child on this application have a parent living outside of the home? .................................................................................................... Yes No

  • If yes, I know I’ll be asked to cooperate with the agency that collects medical support from an absent parent. If I think that cooperating to collect medical support will harm me or my children, I can tell Medicaid and I may not have to cooperate.

  • I’m signing this application under penalty of perjury, which means I’ve provided true answers to all the questions on this form to the best of my knowledge. I know that I may be subject to penalties under federal law if I intentionally provide false or untrue information.

  • I know that I must tell the Health Insurance Marketplace® within 30 days if anything changes (and is different than) what I wrote on thi application. I can visit HealthCare.gov or call 1-800-318-2596 to report any changes. I understand that a change in my information could affec my eligibility as well as eligibility for member(s) of my household.

  • I know that under federal law, discrimination isn’t permitted on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability. I can file a complaint of discrimination by visiting HHS.gov/civil-rights/filing-a-complain .

  • I know that information on this form will be used only to determine eligibility for health coverage, help paying for coverage (if requested), and for lawful purposes of the Marketplace and programs that help pay for coverage.

We need this information to check your eligibility for help paying for health coverage if you choose to apply. We’ll check your answers using information in our electronic databases and databases from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Social Security, the Department of Homeland Security, and/or a consumer reporting agency. If the information doesn’t match, we may ask you to send us confirmation.

What should I do if I think my Eligibility Notice is wrong?

You’ll get an Eligibility Notice in the mail after we process your application. If you don’t agree with what you qualify for, in many cases, you can ask for an appeal. Review your Eligibility Notice to find appeals instructions specific to each person in your household who applies for coverage including how many days you have to request an appeal. Here’s important information to consider when requesting an appeal:

  • You can have someone request or participate in your appeal if you want to. That person can be a friend, relative, lawyer, or other individual. Or, you can request and participate in your appeal on your own.

  • If you request an appeal, you may be able to keep your eligibility for coverage while your appeal is pending.

  • The outcome of an appeal could change the eligibility of other members of your household.

To appeal your Marketplace eligibility results, visit HealthCare.gov/marketplace-appeals. Or, call the Marketplace Call Center at

1-800-318-2596. TTY users can call 1-855-889-4325. You can also mail an appeal request form or your own letter requesting an appeal to

Health Insurance Marketplace, Dept. of Health and Human Services, Attn: Appeals, 465 Industrial Blvd., London, KY 40750-0001. You can appeal eligibility for purchasing health coverage through the Marketplace, enrollment periods, tax credits, cost-sharing reductions, Medicaid, and CHIP, if you were denied these. If you qualify for tax credits or cost-sharing reductions, you can appeal the amount we determined you’re eligible for. Depending on your state, you may be able to appeal through the Marketplace or you may have to request an appeal with the state Medicaid or CHIP agency.

PERSON 1 should sign this application. If you’re an authorized representative, you may sign here as long as PERSON 1 signed Appendix C.

If anyone on this application experienced certain life changes—like losing health coverage, getting married, or having a baby—in the past

60 days (OR expects to in the next 60 days), fill out this page and include it with your completed, signed application. Certain life changes allow your coverage through the Marketplace to start right away. We also recommend you answer these questions if you’re applying outside
