Have a “qualifying life event”? You may be eligible for a Special Enrollment Period.

Open Enrollment for a 2016 Marketplace health plan is over. But in some cases, you may still be able to get health insurance for 2016.

If you experience a qualifying event for health insurance — like getting married, having a baby, or losing other coverage — you may be eligible for a Special Enrollment Period. If you do, you can enroll in a Marketplace plan outside the annual Open Enrollment Period.
You can apply for Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) any time of year. If you qualify, coverage can start immediately.
Members of federally recognized tribes and Alaska Native shareholders can enroll in Marketplace coverage any time of year. They can change plans as often as once a month.

Are you eligible?

Just answer a few questions to find out if you qualify for either a Special Enrollment Period or Medicaid and CHIP.
