12,600 Pennsylvanians newly insured through the Affordable Care Act will lose their health insurance at the end of September if they cannot prove their eligibility for that insurance.
Most of these cases involve questions about whether the newly insured are living in the U.S. legally.
These 12,600 Pennsylvanians are among approximately 300 ,000 people nation-wide whose eligibility for insurance and insurance subsidies is currently under review by the federal government and who have not yet responded to requests for information about citizenship, immigration status, or income.
The affected people have until September 5 to provide the requested information.  Those who fail to do so, and those who do not meet the requirements, will lose their health insurance as of September 30.
