How do I add or remove a member from coverage?

If you want to add or remove a household member from coverage, select "Report a Change" and make updates to your application. 

Adding or removing members may change your eligibility for financial help and which coverage program you qualify for.

I forgot to update my household size (such as, getting married or having a baby) last year. What should I do?

Any changes to your household size that you forgot to update can be updated using Form 8962.

If your household size is the same as last year, make sure to report the change on your application so your eligibility stays up to date.

Sign in to your account and report that your address has changed. If your current coverage is not available in your new area, you will be asked to select a new plan.
