How to Submit Documents

You may need to submit documents when you apply for a health plan. This happens when some of your information cannot be verified. This is called “conditional eligibility.”

If you are conditionally eligible, you must submit your documents by a deadline. You may lose your coverage or financial support if you do not.

You can find the documents you need in the Document Center of your account. Below are common documents that may be needed. You can also view a full list of accepted documents.
