Life change? You may be eligible for health coverage for the rest of 2020

If you recently lost health coverage, got married, had a baby, or experienced another life event, you may qualify for a Special Enrollment Period to enroll in or change Marketplace coverage for the rest of 2020.

What counts as a life event?

There are 4 basic types of qualifying life events:

• Loss of health coverage, like losing your job-based or student health plan
• Changes in household, like getting married or divorced, having a baby, or adopting a child
• Changes in residence, like moving to a different ZIP code or state
• Other changes that impact your income or status, like gaining membership in a federally recognized tribe

How to apply with a Special Enrollment Period

• Not sure you qualify? Answer a few questions to see if you can still enroll in or change a plan for 2020.
• If you’re eligible, start an application for the first time or log into an existing account to get started.
