Income or household changed? Update the Marketplace promptly.
A Marketplace application is not a set-it-and-forget-it form. Changes in income, household size, address, or other coverage can affect eligibility and available plan options, so it is important to use the official Marketplace process when circumstances change.
Reviewed for clarity: October 2026. Marketplace eligibility and enrollment decisions are made by the Marketplace.
01
Changes that may matter
Common examples include a change in expected annual income, a new job or loss of work, marriage, divorce, birth or adoption, a move, or a change in access to other health coverage. The Marketplace can tell you which changes require an update in your situation.
02
Why timely updates help
Updating Marketplace information can help ensure that the application reflects current circumstances. It may also affect advance financial help and plan options.
Use the official Marketplace account
Report the change through the Marketplace for your state and read any resulting notices.
Review coverage details
If the update creates a coverage opportunity, compare the current plan details and effective dates before making a choice.
03
Get the right type of help
An insurance professional can help explain plan choices where licensed. A tax professional should answer personal tax questions, and the Marketplace remains the source of the eligibility decision.
