This application scans your income and other information to determine what coverage you qualify for and if you can get any help paying for it through tax credits, cost-sharing reductions, MinnesotaCare or Medical Assistance (MA). After you submit this application, you’ll see a screen with the results, also known as the “eligibility determination.”
Other options for accessing Medical Assistance (MA): Even if the results of the eligibility determination show that you do not qualify for MA or MinnesotaCare, you or someone in your household may still qualify for low-cost or no-cost health insurance. A child may qualify for MA under the Tax Equity Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA) option if the child has a disability and household income is too high for the child to otherwise receive MA or MinnesotaCare. More information about qualifying for MA under the TEFRA option.
Who should you include on your application? See household information.
MNsure estimates your household income to figure how much financial assistance you may get. See income to report.
You do not need to provide immigration status or a Social Security number (SSN) for people that are not applying for health care coverage. Providing an SSN for all household members can speed up the application process. We use SSNs to check income and other information to see who is eligible for help with health coverage costs.
If someone wants help getting an SSN, call 800-772-1213 or visit www.socialsecurity.gov. If you are a TTY user, call 800-325-0778, or use your preferred relay service. We will keep all information you provide private and secure as required by law. We will use personal information only to check whether you are eligible for health coverage.
