- Premium payment assistance for individuals enrolled in a private health insurance plan. For more information, visit the Health Insurance Premium Payment Assistance page.

Maintaining eligibility
Once a patient is enrolled in ADAP they will be responsible for informing their enrollment worker or ADAP of any changes to their income or residency status. Patients need to re-enroll in the ADAP program before their birthday month every year by submitting all of the required documents.
ADAP applicants who meet the eligibility criteria listed above must:
- Re-enroll into the program annually (up to 45 days before their birthday)
- Re-enroll in-person with a certified ADAP enrollment counselor at one of the enrollment centers listed above
- In addition, recertification for the program bi-annually, or every six months (at birthday and six months after) is critical as well to stay ADAP eligible.
Applicants will receive a self-verification form (SVF) in the mail.
The SVF will ask the applicant if key eligibility information remains unchanged.
If there are no changes to the applicant’s eligibility information, the applicant may recertify for ADAP by completing and submitting the SVF.
If there are changes to the applicant’s eligibility information, the applicant must recertify for ADAP in person with a certified ADAP enrollment counselor.
