Vito Tamborrino • Eligible to buy a 2020 Marketplace plan, but we need more information from you.
• Eligible for advance payments of the premium
tax credit to help pay for a Marketplace plan.
You can use up to this much of the tax credit:
• $647.00 each month, which is $7,764.00
for the year, for your tax household.

first month's premium.
• By September 30, 2020, send documents to

If your “Results” say you’re eligible for advance payments of the premium tax credit or cost-sharing reductions, it means that you don’t appear to be eligible for Medicaid based on your application information. However, you could still be eligible for Medicaid if you have a disability or special health care needs that you didn’t report on your application. To learn more, visit HealthCare.gov/people-with-disabilities or call your state Medicaid agency to ask about rules for your state. 1781328770881664507 2
Why don't I qualify for other programs?

• Enroll in coverage now. If your “Results” say you’re eligible to buy a Marketplace plan, August 30, 2020 is the last day to choose one. Visit HealthCare.gov to compare plans side-by-side, or call the Marketplace Call Center.
• If you miss the deadline, you won’t be able to buy a Marketplace plan until the next Open Enrollment Period, unless you have another life change that makes you eligible to buy a Marketplace plan outside Open Enrollment.
1781328770881664507 4
• If your “Results” say you need to submit documents, your eligibility may end if you don’t submit the documents we need.
What if information from my application changes during the year? If you have life changes and the information you gave us when you applied is no longer correct, you need to let us know within 30 days of the change. Changes may affect your eligibility for:
• Premium tax credits
• Cost-sharing reductions that lower your copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles
• Coverage through Virginia Medicaid or Family Access to Medical Insurance Security (FAMIS) (CHIP) You’re allowed to switch plans after you report certain changes, but your plan choice may be limited. If you enroll in a Marketplace plan and later become eligible for other qualifying coverage, like Medicaid, CHIP, Medicare, or coverage through a job, you won’t be eligible for advance payments of the premium tax credit, although you can keep your Marketplace plan and pay the full premium. If you become eligible for other qualifying coverage, you must contact the Marketplace to end your advance payments of the premium tax credit and let the Marketplace know if you also want to end your health plan. If you don’t stop the advance payments of your premium tax credit to your health insurance company, you may need to pay back the payments paid on your behalf.
If someone works for a business that offers help paying for a health plan or health care expenses, visit HealthCare.gov/job-based-help to learn how this may affect your eligibility for the premium tax credit. What should I do if I think my “Results” are wrong? If you think we made a mistake, you can appeal a final determination of eligibility to the Marketplace Appeals Center. This includes your eligibility to buy health coverage through the Marketplace, for premium tax credits, cost-sharing reductions, enrollment periods, Virginia Medicaid, and Family Access to Medical Insurance Security (FAMIS) (CHIP). You can also appeal the plan categories available to you, if they’re limited during a Special Enrollment Period. Please note that:
• If you need health services right away and a delay could seriously jeopardize your health, you can ask for a fast (expedited) appeal using the Appeal Request form or by sending a fax or a letter to the address below.
• You can represent yourself or appoint a representative to help you with your appeal. This person can be a friend, relative, lawyer, or someone else.
• You can ask to keep your eligibility during your appeal. If you were previously eligible for Marketplace coverage or financial assistance and your eligibility is changed, you can appeal this change. In this case, you may be able to keep your previous eligibility during your appeal.
• The outcome of an appeal could change the eligibility of other members of your household even if they don’t ask for an appeal.
• If you want to appeal a denial of eligibility for Medicaid, you can choose to have your appeal heard by the Marketplace Appeals Center, which is the appeals entity for the Health Insurance Marketplace, or your appeal can be heard by your state Medicaid agency.
• For more information about the state Medicaid appeals process, contact your state Medicaid agency at 1781328770881664507 5

How much time do I have to request an appeal?
Generally, you have 90 days from the date of your eligibility notice to request an appeal. However, there are times when your eligibility can’t be appealed:
• If this notice says that someone needs to submit documents, then you must follow instructions for sending them. Until you submit documents and your issue is resolved, your eligibility notice isn’t a final determination of eligibility and it can’t be appealed.
• If you’re required to send more information to the state Medicaid or CHIP agency, your eligibility notice isn’t a final determination of eligibility for Medicaid or CHIP coverage and it can’t be appealed. You can file a Marketplace appeal:
• Online: Visit HealthCare.gov/marketplace-appeals/appeal-forms and select your state. You can submit your appeal request online or download/print a form and submit it separately.
• By mail or fax: Send a completed paper form or a letter requesting an appeal. Include your name, address, and the reason for the appeal. If the appeal is for someone else (like your child), also include their name. Submit your paper form or the letter to the Marketplace: Fax: 1-877-***-****

Understanding Your Eligibility Notice
Am I eligible for
coverage?
Your eligibility notice tells you which people on your application qualify to get health coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace, Medicaid, or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Medicaid and CHIP provide free or low-cost coverage to people with limited income, disabilities, and in some other situations. Almost anyone can enroll in Marketplace coverage, but you can only enroll at certain times.
What to do next Look at the table that starts on page 1 of your notice. Each person listed on your application needs to follow instructions in the “Next steps” column. Medicaid & CHIP People who have health coverage through Medicaid or CHIP will pay little or nothing for health services and probably don’t need a Marketplace plan.
If your notice says that you or your family members are eligible for Medicaid or CHIP, you’ll get a notice from your state agency telling you about these programs.
What if I miss a
deadline?
If you miss a deadline in your notice to submit information or enroll in a plan, you may not be able to enroll in a Marketplace plan until the next yearly Open Enrollment Period, for coverage starting January 1 of the next year.
Paying my premium You’ll pay your premium directly to your health plan, not the Marketplace. Your plan will send you information on when and how to pay. If you don’t hear from your health plan, you should call or visit their website. For more about paying your premium, visit
HealthCare.gov/apply-and-enroll/complete-your-enrollment. Special Enrollment
Periods
If your notice says you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period, this means you have a chance to enroll in Marketplace coverage outside the Open Enrollment Period. You may qualify for a Special Enrollment Period if you’ve had a life event like losing health coverage, moving, getting married, having a baby, or adopting a child. For some Special Enrollment Periods, you may need to submit documents to confirm your eligibility, and your plan choices may be limited.
If you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period, you usually have up to 60 days after the life event to enroll in a plan. If you miss that window, you have to wait until the next Open Enrollment Period to enroll or until you have another qualifying life event.
1781328770881664507 2
You should re-apply
for Marketplace
coverage every year
Even if you’re already enrolled, you should re-apply for Marketplace coverage every year to make sure your information is up-to-date. If you chose to let the Marketplace use tax information to help with your re- enrollment, your information updates automatically. If you have Medicaid, you’ll get a letter from your state agency if you need to provide more information at re-enrollment time. Why do I need to
report my income?
You don’t have to report your income to get Marketplace coverage, but if you do, the Marketplace will check to see if you qualify for tax credits, cost-sharing, or other programs that could lower your costs. Bronze, Silver,
Gold & Platinum
categories
Health plans sold in the Marketplace are divided into 4 categories: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. They range from Bronze plans with lower premiums and higher out-of-pocket costs, to Platinum plans with higher premiums and lower out-of-pocket costs. Plan choices may be limited during a Special Enrollment Period.
All plans cover all essential health benefits, and there are no dollar limits on the care you can get.
Catastrophic plans A “Catastrophic” plan is a plan with lower monthly premiums that mainly protects you from very high medical costs. People under age 30 and people with hardship exemptions can buy a Catastrophic plan through the Marketplace. These plans aren’t eligible for premium tax credits. Cost-sharing
reductions
If your notice says you qualify for cost-sharing reductions, it means you can enroll in a Silver plan with discounted copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles.
Eligibility for most cost-sharing reductions is based on household income. If you’re a member of a federally recognized tribe, you can get cost-sharing reductions when you enroll in a Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum plan. You may also be eligible for additional cost-sharing reductions. What does the
Marketplace count
as income?
When you apply for help with costs for Marketplace coverage, “income” includes job income, self-employment, Social Security benefits, unemployment, and withdrawals from retirement accounts. We don’t count child support, gifts, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), veteran’s payments, workers’ compensation, loan proceeds (like from student, home equity, or bank loans), or federal tax refunds and credits. If you entered the wrong income on your Marketplace application or if your income changes, it’s important to update your application. 1781328770881664507 3
What if I move,
change jobs, get
married, or have
another change?
If you enroll in a Marketplace plan, you need to report these types of life changes within 30 days, since changes can affect your program eligibility and the amount you pay for your health plan.
How to report life changes:
1. Log into your Marketplace account
2. Select your current application
3. Select “Report a Life Change”
Or, contact the Marketplace Call Center at 1-800-***-**** Visit HealthCare.gov/reporting-changes for a full list of changes to report. Coverage for
immigrant families
Lawfully present immigrants can apply for and enroll in Marketplace coverage, even if they don’t qualify for Medicaid. They may also get help with costs.
Individuals who aren’t lawfully present can apply for Marketplace coverage for family members who may be eligible, like a lawfully present child or spouse. Individuals who aren’t lawfully present may also be eligible for Medicaid to cover emergency medical treatment.
Premium tax credits If your notice says you’re eligible for advance payments of the premium tax credit, it means you can get “credit” to help pay your plan premiums every month. You’ll see the available credit when you choose a plan, and it can be applied when you enroll. You can choose to apply all, some, or none of the available advance payments of the premium tax credit each month. The amount of your tax credit is based on these factors:
• The number of people in your household. Your household includes the person who files the household’s tax return, their spouse, and any dependents claimed on the tax return.
• Your household income for the year you want coverage. Households with income above 400% of the federal poverty level don’t qualify.
• The cost of the second-lowest cost Silver Marketplace health plan in your area. This is the “benchmark” plan cost.
For more information about how to qualify for a premium tax credit, visit HealthCare.gov/lower-costs.
When do I get the
premium tax credit?
The Marketplace will send any advance payments of the premium tax credit directly to your insurance company, not to you. If you use less than the full amount of the credit, you may get the difference back at the end of the year when you file your taxes.
The final amount of your premium tax credit will be based on the actual income you report on your tax return for the coverage year. 1781328770881664507 4
Reporting premium
tax credits on
your federal tax
return
If you get advance payments of the premium tax credit to help with Marketplace health plan costs, the tax filer in your household must file a federal income tax return. When they file, the credits you used during the year—which were based on your estimated income—will be “reconciled” with the credits you’re eligible for based on your actual income entered on your tax return and your other eligibility information.
• If your actual income is lower than what you reported on your application, you may be eligible for a larger premium tax credit.
• If your income is higher than what you reported on your application, you may have to pay back all or some of any excess advance payments of the premium tax credit that were made to your insurance company.
Report any changes in household size, income, and other information right away to make sure you’re getting the correct amount of tax credit during the year. For more information, visit HealthCare.gov/taxes-reconciling. What if I file a
separate tax return
from my spouse?
If you’re married, you must file a joint federal income tax return with your spouse for the year you want premium tax credits. There are some exceptions, like if you claim “head of household” status on your tax return, you’re a victim of domestic violence, or you’re an abandoned spouse. Call the Marketplace Call Center at 1-800-***-**** for more information.
Information for
people with
special health
care needs
If you have special health care needs, you may qualify to get coverage for more health services and pay less for care. For example, if you:
• Have a medical, mental health or substance abuse condition that limits the ability to work or go to school
• Need help with daily activities, like bathing or dressing
• Regularly get medical care, personal care, or health services at home, an adult day center, or another community setting
• Live in a long term care facility, group home, or nursing home
• Are blind
• Are terminally ill
To see if you qualify, call your state Medicaid agency at the number included in this notice. You can also update your Marketplace application with your information. Medicaid may also pay medical bills from 3 months before you apply, so ask when you call.
