An applicant who permanently moves within the same county and does not gain access to new QHPs as a result of the move is:

• A. Ineligible to Enroll in a QHP
• B. Eligible to Enroll in a QHP (If otherwise meets criteria to enroll in a QHP)
• C. Eligible to Enroll in a QHP only if there is a special enrollment period
• D. Ineligible only if income changes

Answer: (A)

Moving within the same county does not create a special enrollment period, and it doesn’t automatically make someone ineligible to enroll. Eligibility to enroll in a QHP depends on meeting basic requirements like state/county residency, lawfully present status, and other qualifiers—not on whether you gain new plan options after a move. If the person otherwise meets the criteria, they can enroll in a QHP. The fact that they don’t gain access to new QHPs simply means there may be no new plans to choose from, not that enrollment is impossible.
