In a married couple where the wife does not have eligible immigration status but the husband does, who is eligible for Marketplace coverage?

• A. Martha
• B. David
• C. Both spouses
• D. Neither spouse

Answer: (B)

Eligibility for Marketplace coverage depends on being lawfully present in the United States. Only those who are lawfully present can enroll in a Marketplace plan and receive subsidies. If one spouse does not have eligible immigration status, they cannot enroll or receive subsidies through the Marketplace. The other spouse, who is lawfully present, can enroll and qualify for subsidies if income and other criteria are met. So the husband is eligible for Marketplace coverage, while the wife is not.
