Adding a new member to your household can be a Qualifying Life Event that opens up a Special Enrollment Period. The new member can be considered for a tax credit and enrolled in one of two ways. They can be added to your current plan if you are enrolled through Your Health Idaho, or they can be enrolled into their own plan. If your family was not insured before adding your new family member, the addition qualifies the whole family to apply for coverage and a tax credit.
