Pregnant person - question

[sbg_ben]

Hi, I am working with a client who is pregnant. It's her and her husband right now. The marketplace asks how many dependents you will claim in 2025. At first I answered that they would claim one, but then it won't let me list an unborn child.

Then I found on the marketplace website it says don't include unborn children.

Just want to check and make sure i'm doing this right.. There was a question about pregnancy and I did say that she was but I don't think that helped their subsidy eligibility at all.

You add the baby once born ....then there is 1 dependent and things change......

Don't mark Pregnant on the app. It will try to kick her to Medicaid.

you're right, had to redo it. lol I do like 90% medicare so I feel really rusty every time I do the marketplace for the first couple times during this time of year.

So, you lie on the application? I am not following how you can not answer the question accurately if it is asked
