Consumer Review of Eligibility Application Information Form

Revised for plan year 2023

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requires health insurance agents, brokers, and web-brokers to document and ensure that the consumer or their authorized representative has reviewed and verified the accuracy of eligibility application information prior to submission.

You understand that:

Renewal of Coverage

  1. You have the option to authorize the Marketplace to use updated income data, including details from tax returns, for a period of up to five (5) years. This makes it easier to determine your eligibility for future coverage assistance. You can choose to opt out at any time.

Premium Tax Credit

  1. Your monthly insurance premium of your Marketplace plan can be lowered through the use of premium tax credits. Your estimated income and household information listed on your Marketplace application will determine your tax credit.
  2. You have the option to use all, a portion, or none of your tax credit in advance to lower your monthly insurance premium.

Tax Attestations

  1. Having other qualifying health coverage (including Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), or an insurance plan from your employer) may disqualify you from receiving a premium tax credit.
  2. It is your responsibility to inform the Marketplace about your eligibility for other qualifying health coverage to avoid premium tax credit repayment issues.
  3. You acknowledge that the premium tax credit will be applied to reduce the cost of your health insurance premiums for you and/or your dependents.
  4. Filing a federal income tax return for 2023, including a joint tax return if married, is required.
  5. You cannot be claimed as a dependent on anyone else’s 2023 federal income tax return other than your own.
  6. You can claim a personal exemption deduction for each dependent enrolled in Marketplace coverage who has their premium partially or fully paid by advance payments of the tax credit.
  7. You understand that any changes to the information provided may affect your eligibility for the premium tax credit, as well as the eligibility for your household member(s).
  8. The IRS will cross-reference the income reported on your 2023 federal income tax return with the information provided on your application.
  9. Discrepancies between your advance premium tax credit usage and your final yearly income may result in the potential need to repay the difference or receive a refundable credit when you file your 2023 federal income taxes, depending on if you used more or less premium tax credits than you qualified for, respectfully.

Additional Attestations

  1. The Marketplace will automatically end your Marketplace coverage if you or anyone listed on your application is later found to have other qualifying health coverage (like Medicare, Medicaid, or CHIP).
  2. If the information you provided on the application changes, you must notify the Marketplace within 30 days to update your application. You can contact the agent below to report any changes. You can also visit HealthCare.gov or call 1-800-318-2596 to report any changes.
  3. You confirm that the information you provided on your Marketplace application is true to the best of your knowledge.

  • The information you provided for your application has been reviewed and confirmed to be accurate,
  • You understand the information provided in the “Renewal of Coverage,” “Premium Tax Credit,” “Tax Attestations,” and “Additional Attestations” sections, and
