Income Verification Documentation Needed for Marketplace Insurance Coverage
You would need to upload these documents because the federal government has requested additional documentation to verify your annual household income to complete your application for Marketplace insurance coverage. This is a common request, and as long as the required documents are submitted by the specified deadline, your health insurance coverage should not be impacted.
Once your documents are uploaded, our team will submit the documentation to the Marketplace for you.
We appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Delays in submitting the requested documentation could result in interruptions or termination of your insurance coverage.
