Social Security Numbers (SSNs) for everyone on your application

Your Marketplace application will ask you to enter each person’s 9-digit SSN, even those not applying for coverage. The Marketplace will verify the SSNs with Social Security, based on the consent you’ll give at the start of your application. If you don’t enter an SSN, you may need to provide more information at a later time.

This information will only be used for eligibility for health coverage.
