DACA Special Enrollment Period Continues

Access to affordable, comprehensive health care for those in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program is still available under the Affordable Care Act through Health Insurance Marketplaces nationwide, including Pennie. Enrolling in coverage is not considered a public charge determination and should have no impact on DACA recipient’s current status. There have not been any policy changes to date and enrollment assisters should continue to assist all those who do not qualify for Medicaid, Medicare or other coverages to preview options through Pennie by Dec. 15 for coverage to begin Jan. 1. The first initial premium payment must be made by Dec. 31 for policies to be made active.
