Question: I am an Federally-facilitated Marketplace (FFM) issuer who is receiving errors in my summary/error report for having reported invalid Exchange Assigned Subscriber IDs. Why might I be getting this error?

Answer: For FFM plans, issuers need to report Exchange Assigned Subscriber IDs with any leading zeroes that the IDs originally had when generated by the FFM. Issuers will receive errors in their summary/error report if they report FFM generated Exchange Assigned Subscriber IDs without the leading zeroes.
