How to report a move

The steps you’ll take depend on if you move to a different state or within the same state.

If you move within the same state

Update your application to report your change of address. Your coverage options and savings probably won’t change based only on your new address, but we’ll let you know if you need to pick a new plan.

If you move to a different state

Notice:
When you move to a new state, you can’t keep your plan
It’s very important to report moves out of state immediately so you can enroll in a new plan without a break in coverage — and avoid paying for coverage that doesn’t apply in your new state.
When you move out of state, you’ll need to start a new Marketplace application and enroll in a plan in your new state. How you apply depends on whether your new state uses HealthCare.gov or its own website.
Get screen-by-screen uploading directions, with pictures (PDF, 398 KB), or follow these steps:
  1. Log in to your Marketplace account.
  2. Select the year you want coverage and your new state.
  3. Click “Apply or Renew” to start a new application on HealthCare.gov.
  4. After you finish your application for your new state, you’ll be able to compare plans and prices available to you. Pick a plan and pay your first month’s premium to complete your enrollment.
Note: If you're reviewing and updating your application, select “Start a New State Application.” If you’re in the process of reporting a life change, select “Report a move to a new state,” then select “Continue.” On the “Moving to a new state” screen, select “Continue.” Then, select the year and new state from the drop-down menu.

Update your profile with your new address

No matter where you move, you should also update your HealthCare.gov profile. Here’s how:
  1. Log in to your Marketplace account.
  2. Select your name in the top right of the screen and select “My Profile.”
  3. Select “Edit” next to the “Address” field. Note: Sometimes a more detailed address than the one you type in (like one with your full ZIP code) may pop up. Select it so we’ll have your most accurate address.
  4. Report email and phone changes on your HealthCare.gov profile this same way.
