Which statement is true regarding applicants who complete an application during OE?

The statement that applicants who complete an application during the Open Enrollment Period (OE) are eligible to enroll in a Qualified Health Plan (QHP) if they meet certain criteria is true. During the OE, individuals can apply for health insurance through the Federally-facilitated Marketplace. If their application meets the eligibility requirements—such as income thresholds, residency, and other qualifying factors—they can enroll in a QHP.

This option reflects the fundamental purpose of the Open Enrollment Period, which is to provide individuals with the opportunity to gain access to health coverage. It encourages applicants to complete their applications during this time to ensure they have access to healthcare options that fit their needs.

The other choices do not accurately reflect the nature of the Open Enrollment Period. While some may have concerns about eligibility due to specific factors, the primary function of OE is to facilitate enrollment in health plans, not to render applicants ineligible or to solely restrict them to government assistance.
