Submit documents to confirm your Special Enrollment Period

If you applied for Marketplace coverage through a Special Enrollment Period because you moved or lost other health coverage, you may be asked to submit documents to confirm you qualify.

After you pick a plan, you have 30 days to send the documents.

How do I know if I need to submit documents?

• After you submit your application, you’ll get details and instructions on your eligibility results screen and in a notice you can download or receive in the mail.
• These will include information if you have to submit documents.

If you’re losing health coverage

• You must send documents showing the lost coverage and the date it ends.
• See a list of accepted documents.

If you moved to a new address & had prior coverage

• You must provide documents that confirm you moved in the last 60 days AND had health coverage at least one day during the 60 days before your move.
• See a list of accepted documents.
