We use a regression discontinuity design that exploits a sharp change in the duration of dependent eligibility by birth month under the Affordable Care Act. We find that additional dependent insurance eligibility increases both dependent take-up and parental job retention.

By leveraging variation generated by the cap’s nonlinear design and the transition between fiscal years, we find that programs on track to exceed the cap raise enrollment rates by 5.8 % and live discharge rates by 4.3 % in the fourth quarter. But this churning falls far short of eliminating their financial penalties: it amounts to 10 % of an average program’s excess revenue at most.
