OBBBA requires marketplace applicants to submit proof of eligibility before subsidies

From NHeLP

Beginning in plan year 2028, OBBBA requires Marketplace applicants to submit proof of eligibility before subsidies can take effect. Applicants must verify their household income, immigration status, eligibility for other coverage, place of residence, and family size. Additional requirements are potentially forthcoming. Marketplaces can only waive these requirements for people enrolling during a special enrollment period (SEP) due to a change in household size. Advocates should educate stakeholders on this new requirement now, emphasizing the importance of maintaining necessary documentation.
