Who is a lawfully present immigrant for health insurance purposes?

Lawfully present immigrants generally include:

• lawful permanent residents (or “green card holders”);
• persons fleeing persecution, including refugees and asylees;
• other humanitarian immigrants, including those granted temporary protected status;
• Cuban/Haitian entrants;
• survivors of domestic violence, trafficking, and other serious crimes; and persons with valid non-immigrant visas such as work or student visas.

As of November 1, 2024, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients will also be considered an immigration status eligible for ACA Marketplace coverage.
