It is critical that you include the most accurate information possible on your application to prevent any errors that might cause a delay in your coverage going into effect. This checklist will help you gather all of your information ahead of time so that if you have any questions, you can get them answered and obtain any additional documentation you may need BEFORE YOU APPLY.
NOTE: As you go through this page, and possibly some others in the site, there may be some hyperlinks that aren't linked yet. Please bear with me. I'm publishing all of this myself and trying to get it done at once as much as I can but it's not always possible. Check back and I assure you the content you're looking for will be linked! As the sole proprietor of my business, I am the web design team as well as all other roles, so sometimes things don't roll out as seamlessly as I'd prefer but I do enjoy being able to do it myself and make it a more personal experience. Thank you so much for your patience!
If you don’t have a SSN:
NOTE: Even without an SSN, you can still apply for Marketplace insurance, as long as you can prove your lawful presence in the United States. You will need to provide alternative methods to verify your income, such as pay stubs or tax returns with an ITIN.
