Incarceration Status

Individuals who are serving a term in prison or jail are not eligible for coverage through MNsure. Incarcerated individuals should still be included on the application if someone in their household is applying through MNsure using the application WITH financial help.

The following individuals ARE eligible for coverage:

• Living at home or in a residential facility under supervision of the criminal justice system
• On probation, parole or home confinement
• "Incarcerated pending disposition of charges" (in jail or prison but not convicted of a crime)

After release from incarceration, individuals may enroll through MNsure:

• During a 60-day special enrollment period after their release
• Any time after their release if eligible for MA or MinnesotaCare
