DACA Eligibility Update

On December 16, 2024, the United States Court of Appeals for the
Eighth Circuit issued a temporary stay of the preliminary injunction
in Kansas v. United States of America (Case No. 1:24-cv-00150).
As a result of this stay, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)
recipients are permitted to enroll in a qualified health plan (QHP)
through the Health Insurance Marketplace® in all states, including the
19 states that are involved in the lawsuit. If a future court decision
impacts your Marketplace coverage, the Marketplace will send you a notice.
This is a preliminary court decision and final decisions could affect your
eligibility for coverage. Check back for updates before January 15 when
Marketplace Open Enrollment ends.
