More Answers: When the Marketplace needs documents to confirm info from your application
Yes.
When you submit your application, the Marketplace uses the information you provide to determine your eligibility for coverage and savings. If your eligibility notice says you can buy a Marketplace plan, you can enroll right away.
But if the information on your application doesnât match our records, your results also explain that you must provide additional documents. Youâll get follow-up notices reminding you.
If the issue isnât resolved by the deadline, you may lose your eligibility for coverage or any savings youâre getting on your premiums and other costs.
Your eligibility notice includes a deadline for submitting documents to verify certain types of information, like your household income, citizenship, or immigration status. In most cases youâll have at least 90 days to clear up the issue.
The Marketplace wonât end your eligibility for health insurance or change your savings without giving you advance notice. If you donât send acceptable documents, you'll get warning notices and a reminder phone call before eligibility for coverage ends or your savings change.
If you're having trouble submitting documents or have questions, contact the Marketplace Call Center and explain you got a notice requesting documents.
