Hardships can be re-categorized to another hardship type if the hardship explanation box or document matches a different hardship category.

 Hardship   Hardship exemptions may be requested by applicants who experience circumstances that affect their ability to purchase health coverage through their employer or, through the State-based or Federally Facilitated Marketplace. Applicants can request hardship exemptions based on one or more of the hardship categories listed on Page 1 of 5 of the Hardship Exemption Application form.

With the exception of Hardship 13s, most Hardship exemptions must end no later than December 31st of the coverage year in which the exemption application was signed. Aside from the exception for Hardship 13s which will be described below in Table 4, applicants must reapply for each subsequent coverage year during which they continue to experience a Hardship.

Support documentation must accompany most hardship exemption applications in order to verify exemption eligibility (except for homelessness, domestic violence and Hardship 14s that are not re-categorized to another Hardship category that may require such documentation). The support documentation must provide enough information regarding the applicant’s particular household situation related to the requested Hardship to allow an Eligibility Support Worker (ESW) to determine eligibility for the requested exemption(s).
