Reasonable opportunity period

Individuals otherwise eligible for Apple Health are conditionally approved and granted a reasonable opportunity period (ROP) of up to 90 days to obtain and provide verification of their citizenship or immigration status. The ROP may extend beyond 90 days if the individual requests additional time, and they are making a good faith effort to obtain the necessary documentation.

Examples of good faith effort includes:

Up-to-date documents showing immigration status is pending with DHS/United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

Other verification that reasonably verifies that a good faith effort is being made.

When the individual's citizenship or immigration status has not been verified by the end of the ROP, coverage may end.
