Hi. I am confused in regard to the healthcare.gov website. I am currently enrolled in an Affordable Health Care Plan. However, I periodically receive emails saying that my health insurance may be in jeopardy. I have included some of the language that I see on the website in regard to my health insurance application below in bold. In one area it states that I need to supply additional documentation and in another area it says that the documentation has been submitted. I uploaded my 2015 federal income tax return as support/proof/evidence of my income.
I was diagnosed with cancer in 2014 and I was treated for it in 2014 and 2015. Two weeks prior to being diagnosed, I was terminated from my long term employment with mega-corp and I have not returned to work since.
When I have called the marketplace, they concede that the website is confusing. They state that what the website intends to communicate is that my 2015 federal tax return has been submitted, but not yet reviewed. But if you look below, based on the list of eligible documents, it appears that my 2015 federal income tax return is not a sufficient document to prove income?
I would rather not provide any more information to the marketplace than is necessary to confirm my eligibility, but based on my health situation I don't want to risk losing coverage.
Do they need a written statement from me affirming that I am not employed in 2016 and that I am living off of my savings? Do I need to give them some redacted version of my investment portfolio accounts and my bank account?
Have any of your remained in what appears to be limbo status concerning your eligibility for health insurance coverage? I just want some kind of confirmation so I dont have to worry about enrollment. I have enough to worry about. Thank you for your advice.
