Any one had any success adding a new born? I tried several times to add a new born to the ACA plan with the life change process. It sends me back through the app again to re-verify eligibility, which I understand why.

The family of 5 received a subsidy for a 1/1/14 effective date and fell in the 200-250% FPL based on family size. WHen I add the new born, (now family of 6), the eligibility results send the father, mother, 4 yr old, and new born to Medicaid. Says the 10 and 8 year old are not eligible for any subsidy and directs them to the marketplace. I increase the income on the second attempt so that it was the same percentage of FPL as it was when the family was 5 to see if it would work. No luck.

I guess I will need to call the marketplace.
 
There lies the problem. If they call the marketplace, they also will go through the life change button, and leave off the agent info, and you're SOL
 
Plan on trying a 3 way call this evening or next week. It's a close relative and neighbor, not that that matters.
