Day 3 and the WA State Health Exchange website seems to be up and operational.
I was able to setup an account for DW and myself this afternoon and got both of us verified. WA state seems to be using Transunion for ID verification as they asked the same personal questions that Transunion did when I lifted our credit freeze this morning in preparation for the anticipated probe by the Health Exchange. I lifted freezes at all three credit bureaus not knowing which would be checked.
Once our ID's were verified, we were instructed to submit verification of our income. The website provided a list of suggested forms to submit as proof. Unfortunately none of these forms pertained to us as we're living off of our interest/dividends/savings and plan to control our total yearly income through ongoing Roth IRA conversions. So I put together estimated 2014 personal income verification statements for each of us and submitted these online to the exchange. (scanned/saved forms can be submitted easily online through your WA exchange account)
Now we'll wait for a response to learn if we need to submit addition income verification forms; or, hopefully, our subsidy level so that we can proceed to select our carrier.
So far the most difficult part of this whole endeavor has been lifting our credit freezes and putting together the personal income verification statements!
