Having a major life change? You may qualify for a Special Enrollment Period
Published on September 5, 2014
Thinking about moving, getting married or having a baby? When you make big decisions in life, you may also become eligible for Marketplace coverage outside of Open Enrollment through a Special Enrollment Period.
If you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period to change plans or enroll for the first time, you’ll have 60 days from the life event to enroll. After you report life changes to the Marketplace, you’ll get a new eligibility notice that will explain if you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period and lower costs.
