You may qualify for a Special Enrollment Period with a life event
Open Enrollment for 2022 is over, but you may still qualify to enroll in or change Marketplace coverage for the rest of the year if you’ve had a recent life event. Getting married, having a baby, moving, and losing health coverage all count. (Note: These are the most common life changes; here’s the full list of qualifying life events). In addition to having a life event, you may also qualify based on your estimated household income.
Do I qualify for a Special Enrollment Period?
- Answer a few quick questions to see your coverage options.
- If you already know you qualify, create an account or log in to an existing one to enroll in or change Marketplace coverage for 2022.
- If eligible, you may be asked to submit documents to confirm your life event before you can enroll.
Does my income change make me eligible for Medicaid or CHIP?
- When you visit our screener at HealthCare.gov, we’ll also tell you if you may qualify for free or low-cost health coverage through Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).
- If you may be eligible, we’ll send your information to your state agency, and they’ll contact you with next steps.
