WA Health Plan Expansion for DACA Recipients
People with certain immigration statuses now qualify for more savings
Due to a recent federal change, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients and other people with qualifying immigration statuses can now access increased federal savings through Washington HealthplanfinderTM as of Nov. 1, 2024. These savings significantly lower costs for most — many customers can find a health plan for less than $10 per month.
Who qualifies? Immigration statuses include:
-
DACA recipients
-
Valid nonimmigrant visa-holders
-
People with a pending application for adjustment of status
-
People granted employment authorization
-
Family Unity Program beneficiaries
-
Special Immigrant Juveniles with approved petitions
-
Certain asylum applicants under age 14
How can someone get their new savings?
Any household member affected by the recent change needs to select “Yes” to the question, “Is this household member lawfully present in the U.S.?” in their Washington Healthplanfinder application. Those who may be affected (current customers and people who recently applied to Washington Healthplanfinder) were notified of the change in their preferred language. Assisters are also reaching out to people with qualified statuses who they previously helped.

-
