3 ways: report income & household changes

If you have Marketplace health insurance and your income or household changed — like if you had a baby, got a raise, or someone in your household got new job-based coverage — you should update your application as soon as possible.

See the full list of changes you should report.

Why it’s important to report changes

• Certain changes may qualify you for a Special Enrollment Period, allowing you to change plans outside Open Enrollment.
• The changes may also affect the savings and coverage options you qualify for.
• If you don’t report changes, you could wind up owing more—or less—when you file your next federal tax return.

3 ways to report changes to the Marketplace

• Update your application online.
• Contact the Marketplace Call Center.
• Get help from someone in your community.
