• Over 100,000 people are newly eligible to purchase health insurance from the federal marketplace. Here's what you need to know.

The article from Kiplinger discusses the implications of the 2025 open enrollment period for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) for DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) recipients. It highlights that DACA recipients, who were previously barred from purchasing health insurance through the ACA marketplaces due to their immigration status, might now have the opportunity to enroll if certain legal and policy changes occur. The article outlines the potential benefits of this change, including access to comprehensive health coverage, subsidies, and the ability to avoid penalties for not having insurance. It also mentions the ongoing legal battles and policy discussions around DACA's future, which could impact their eligibility. The piece emphasizes the importance of staying informed about any updates or changes in legislation that could affect DACA recipients' ability to participate in open enrollment, and provides guidance on how they can prepare for possible enrollment, including understanding the special enrollment periods and the documentation required.
