To see what kinds of papers you can submit, look up your life event in the list below:
What documents am I allowed to submit?
- If you moved, your name and the move date must be included on all documents. Bills, mortgage or rental documentation, or a letter from an insurance provider are all examples. In most circumstances, you must also show that you had qualifying coverage for at least one of the 60 days prior to your move. See the complete list.
- If you lost previous health coverage, your name and the coverage loss date must be included in the documents. An example would be a letter from your insurance company or employer, a health care program document, or pay stubs. See the complete list.
