Moving state coverage documents checklist

Collect move details before using a Marketplace timing page or state route directory.

• Move date or expected move dateMoving-related timing questions should begin with the date and event that changed the coverage route.
• Prior coverage proof or coverage-end noticeOfficial sources may ask whether prior coverage existed before the move, so keep documentation available.
• New residential state and countyMarketplace routing and available official paths can depend on where you lives after the move.

Use official routing sources before assuming HealthCare.gov or a state exchange is the correct next page.

• Current state Marketplace route familyCMS Marketplace route categories help distinguish HealthCare.gov, state-based Marketplaces, and supported state-based platforms.
• State-based exchange or SBE-FP statusCMS and CCIIO source context helps verify whether a state route has changed for the active plan year.
• Official Marketplace account or application routeFinal route confirmation should happen through the official Marketplace path, not a private comparison surface.

A move can also change state-agency context, so keep Medicaid and CHIP routing separate from Marketplace comparison.

• Current Medicaid or CHIP notice, if anyState agency notices should control Medicaid or CHIP status questions before comparing other coverage.
• New state Medicaid or CHIP contact routeMedicaid.gov state-help context points readers toward the correct state agency for applications, renewals, and status questions.
• Household member coverage changes after the moveDifferent household members can have different official verification paths, especially when Medicaid or CHIP may be involved.
