After you create a Marketplace account and verify your identity, you can apply for coverage. We use the information you enter to figure out if you’re eligible for health coverage and if you qualify for cost savings.
When you apply for health coverage, you’ll enter:
- Basic information – Names, addresses, dates of birth, and Social Security Numbers (SSNs) and/or immigration document information for each person in your household
- Household information – Includes each person’s relationship to you, like spouse, children, and dependents
- Tax filing information – How you plan to file taxes and whether you will claim tax dependents
- Income information – Income for everyone in your household and your best estimate of your household income for the year you need coverage
- Other health coverage information – Whether anyone in your household currently has other health coverage, or is offered health coverage through a job. Get a checklist to gather information for your application (PDF, 163 KB).
Some of the contact information you entered when you created your Marketplace account will appear automatically in your application. If you need to make changes, edit the information in your Marketplace account settings.
