2024 ACA Exchange & FFM Certification
It’s time to start preparing for the 2024 Open Enrollment Period! We’ll discuss all the certification changes and important updates that you need to be aware of for the upcoming plan year.
Marketplace Training Deadlines for 2023
As you begin to prepare for the 2024 OEP, keep in mind that many exchanges have closed, or will soon be closing, their new agent registrations and trainings for 2023. The 2023 FFM certification closed to new agents on July 14, 2023.
​
Agents certified to sell ACA products in 2023 will need to certify for 2024 to sell during the OEP and next year.
​
2024 FFM Certification & Exchange Registrations
The 2024 FFM certification will soon be available through the CMS Enterprise Portal Marketplace Learning Management System (MLMS). For agents utilizing HealthSherpa, this training will also be available on the CMS Enterprise portal.
​
FFM certification is only required for agents selling in the federal exchange. If you only sell products in a state-based exchange, you’ll need to complete the appropriate state-specific training. Some state exchanges open agent trainings as early as mid-July. Check out the table below to see which exchanges are live now!
​
All agents must update their MLMS profile on the CMS Enterprise Portal in addition to completing the 2024 training course to be considered ready-to-sell.
