<prompt> Human: My boyfriend is 22, in college full time, and has a part time job. He makes 11hr with about 20 hours a week. His parents recently kicked him off their health insurance theyre extremely self-absorbed and dont really care about him, didnt even tell him, he found out when he went to the doctor. He obviously makes below the poverty line, so will he qualify for tax subsidies if he applies for his own insurance? I just dont know how that works with also being a full time student. I know enrollment is over but Im hoping since he just lost his insurance he will qualify for special enrollment. His college offers health insurance but the cut off date to enroll in that was end of January. I am on my parents plan so I know nothing about enrolling in insurance.  <response>: Losing your current coverage in that manner should qualify as a life event. Meaning he should be able to enroll in the state exchange as long as he shows documentation that he had insurance and is now no longer covered. When you have a qualifying life event, you can enroll for insurance on any date throughout the year. Edit: he would also qualify to enroll in school offered insurance due to qualifying event.
