  • Costs and coverage could change in your current plan.
  • If you don't update your application, your financial assistance may be incorrect. You could pay too much for your monthly premium or use more advance payments of the premium tax credit than you qualify for.

Ready to update your application for 2018?

  • Log in and select your 2018 application. It'll be pre-filled with your 2017 information, so you only need to update what's changing.
  • Update any expected income and household changes for 2018.
  • Continue with your 2018 enrollment.
