I’m working on an H-2A visa. Am I eligible for coverage in the Marketplace?

Yes. Lawfully-present immigrants who are otherwise eligible for coverage – including “nonimmigrants” like H-2A workers and those on student visas – may purchase insurance in the Marketplace. Those who are low-income and otherwise eligible may also receive premium assistance and cost-sharing reductions to lower the cost of coverage in Marketplace plans.

However, DACA is no longer considered an eligible immigration status for health coverage through the Marketplaces, and starting in 2027, certain other lawfully present immigrants will no longer be eligible for subsidized Marketplace coverage.
