What is an "Eligible Immigration status?"

This is an immigration status that determines whether you can get health coverage through a marketplace. Certain folks may or may not be able to apply for marketplace plans with Stride depending on this determination! 

Common Eligible Immigration Status' include:

• Lawful Permanent Resident (Green-card Holder)
• Refugee or Asylee
• Resident of American Samoa
• Lawful Temporary Resident (ex: student or work visa)
• Providing Proof of Citizenship

Many immigrant families are of “mixed status,” with members having different immigration and citizenship statuses. These folks can apply for subsidies or lower costs insurance for their dependent family members who are eligible for coverage in the Marketplace and also apply for Medicaid and CHIP coverage for their dependent family members.

It's important to note that states can’t deny benefits to an applicant because a family or household member who isn't applying hasn’t disclosed his or her citizenship or immigration status!

Also, information about immigration status will be used only to determine eligibility for coverage and not for immigration enforcement!
