Expiration of Documents

Expired USCIS documents of any kind are acceptable verification of non-citizen status.

Exception: DACA status cannot be verified using expired documentation.

DACA

On June 15, 2012, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) was approved. Individuals who qualify under DACA may refer to themselves as “part of the Dream Act”, “Dreamers”, or “Immigrant Youth”.

Participants must:

Have arrived in the U.S. before the age of 16
Have lived in the U.S., continuously, since June 15, 2007
Be under the age of 31 as of June 15, 2012
Not have lawful immigration status as of June 15, 2012
Be pursuing education or military service
Not have any prior convictions (felony or significant misdemeanor)
Be Physically present in the U.S. on June 15, 2012 and at the time of requesting DACA

DACA individuals, if otherwise eligible for MC, are eligible to receive full-scope MC benefits. However, DACA individuals are not eligible for Advanced Premium Tax Credit (APTC), Cost Sharing Reduction (CSR) or a Qualified Health Plan (QHP). DACA individuals are considered Category 12 PRUCOL individuals on the MC13, “an alien in deferred action status”.

If the individual claims DACA status but is unable to provide verification of that immigration status the EW must allow a 90-day ROP for verification. Full-scope MC benefits must be granted to the individual while the DACA immigration status is verified, if the individual is otherwise eligible for MC.
