Have you received a notice saying there is a data matching issue on your Health Insurance Marketplace application? Don’t panic — these issues are common and often can be corrected.

The Marketplace may need to verify information such as:

🔹 Social Security Number – A name, date of birth, or SSN may not match Social Security records.

🔹 Income – The income reported on your application may not match information from the IRS or other data sources.

🔹 Citizenship or Immigration Status – The information provided may not match records from the appropriate government agency.

🔹 Employer Coverage – The Marketplace may need additional information about whether you or a household member has access to health insurance through an employer.

🔹 Medicare Status – Issues can occur when Marketplace information doesn’t match Medicare records, including situations involving eligibility or enrollment.

🔹 Household Information – Names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, or other information for household members may not match government records.

🔹 Inconsistent Information – Even a small difference, such as a name change, incorrect date of birth, or an incorrect SSN, can trigger a verification issue.

⚠️ Important: Don’t ignore a data matching notice. If the issue isn’t resolved by the deadline, it could affect your Marketplace coverage or financial assistance.

📄 The Marketplace may ask you to provide documentation to verify the information.

If you’re unsure what the notice means or what documentation is needed, don’t guess and don’t make unnecessary changes to your application.
