Health Insurance/Domicile State

I had to apply for health insurance via the Health Insurance Marketplace because I have been denied insurance due to high BP. Prior to choosing a plan, I called the company and explained that I was a FTmr. Was told this was okay. Paid my first premium. Today received a letter requesting 2 forms of documentation of residency of 9 months or more to continue coverage. This is my domicile state, SD. Now no insurance. Have filed a formal complaint with the state. Has this happened to anyone else. Thank you in advance for responses.

  • Domicile in SD
    So you have your SD drivers license, you have your SD vehicle registration(s), you have your SD vehicle insurance, your SD voters registration, all the mail that is sent to your SD address.

    Should be able to prove your SD domicile.

    Course SD does not participate in the Multi-plan Program within the Health Insurance Marketplace.
    Meaning that the medical insurance coverage you have via ACA using SD as domicile is only good for medical coverage within the state of SD.

    Any medical coverage/treatment outside the state of SD is cash out of your pocket....on your own---no coverage.

    I too would go with federal documents like the Social Security statement, and phone bills, and the rent for your PO box and of course your Driver's license (photo of it) and registration.

    We really need to establish a 51st state (Might as well call it the state of confusion) that would be for full time RVers.. Basically all e would need is senators, a representive or two, and a DMV. oh, and the Office in Chicago. (That part is half joke.. Many states have offices in Chicago).
  • What kind of documentation were they requesting? As a full-timer I can provide several years of cell phone bills as well as Social Security and pension statements all of which show my domicile address in SD. I also have a driver's license dated more than two years ago and a voter registration card. In order for your domicile to be taken seriously you need to transfer your affairs to that address.
