I Missed My State’s Open Enrollment Deadline. Can I Still Get Healthcare Coverage?

Don’t worry! If you missed the enrollment deadline in your state, you may qualify for a Special Enrollment Period (SEP) that will allow you to apply for health insurance if you have experienced a qualifying life event. Qualifying life events can include:

• • A change in your home address
  • The loss of health insurance through a job or aging out of a parent’s policy at age 26
  • Household changes such as marriage, divorce, a death in the family, or having a baby

You have 60 days to enroll in a plan if you qualify for an SEP. But, if you miss that 60-day window, you will have to wait until Open Enrollment in 2022 to enroll in an individual health insurance policy for 2023.
