What happens to customers who are enrolled through the end of the calendar year and are otherwise eligible?

Customers who are enrolled through the end of the calendar year and are otherwise eligible typically experience an automatic renewal process into the same or a similar plan. This means that, barring any changes in circumstances such as income, household size, or other qualifying factors that might affect their eligibility, they can continue to receive health insurance coverage without needing to take additional steps to reapply.

This automatic renewal feature is designed to help maintain coverage continuity, ensuring that customers do not face gaps in health insurance. By being automatically renewed, recipients can benefit from consistent access to their healthcare services without the added burden of having to navigate the reapplication process.

In contrast, the other options suggest actions or outcomes that do not align with the continuous coverage model established for eligible customers. Specifically, having to reapply for coverage would be unnecessary if they remain qualified and are already enrolled. Receiving a tax form usually occurs after the coverage period, while losing coverage would typically happen if a customer does not meet eligibility criteria, which does not apply in this context.
