Special Enrollment Periods for complex issues
Begin highlighted text
IMPORTANT: Impacted by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) national emergency?Because FEMA declared COVID-19 a national emergency, if you qualified for a Special Enrollment Period but missed the deadline because you were impacted by COVID-19 (including if you or a family member was sick with COVID-19 or if the emergency impacted your job and caused you to be uncertain about your job-based coverage), you may be eligible for another Special Enrollment Period. Visit FEMA.gov for information about emergencies in your state.
If anyone on your Marketplace application lost coverage anytime in 2020 but missed the deadline to enroll because they were impacted by the FEMA-declared coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) national emergency, you can create an account and apply on HealthCare.gov to see if you qualify for this Special Enrollment Period, or log in and update your current application if you already have an account.
Note: You may be asked to submit documents to confirm the loss of coverage. Documents must show that you lost coverage within the past 60 days or more than 60 days ago but since January 1, 2020.If you had a life event other than a loss of coverage more than 60 days ago and missed your Special Enrollment Period, contact the Marketplace Call Center at 1-800-318-2596 (TTY: 1-855-889-4325) to see if you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period.

IMPORTANT: Recently impacted by a hurricane or other natural disaster?If you were qualified to enroll in Marketplace coverage during Open Enrollment or a Special Enrollment Period but were unable to enroll due to a hurricane or other natural disaster, you may be eligible for another Special Enrollment Period. To qualify, you must live (or have lived during the event) in a county that is eligible to apply for "individual assistance" or "public assistance" by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). If you are eligible, you have 60 days from the end of the FEMA-designated incident period to complete your enrollment in Marketplace coverage and request a retroactive start date based on when you would have picked a plan if not for the disaster. See the following link for FEMA designation information: https://www.fema.gov/disasters. For help enrolling through this Special Enrollment Period, contact the Marketplace Call Center.

Misinformation, misrepresentation, misconduct, or inaction of someone working in an official capacity to help you enroll (like an insurance company, navigator, certified application counselor, or agent or broker) kept you from:
Enrolling in a plan
Enrolling in the right plan
Getting the premium tax credit or cost-sharing reduction you were eligible for
A technical error occurred when you applied on HealthCare.gov -- you probably saw an error message when completing your application – that prevented:
You from enrolling in a plan, or
Your health insurance company from receiving your enrollment information
The wrong plan data was displayed on HealthCare.gov at the time that you selected your health plan, such as benefit or cost-sharing information.
Becoming newly eligible for help paying for a Marketplace insurance plan during or after living in a state that hasn’t expanded Medicaid
You previously lived in a state that hasn’t expanded Medicaid and weren’t eligible for Medicaid or advance payments of the premium tax credit (APTC) because your income was too low. But in the last 60 days, you had an increase in household income or moved, making you newly eligible for premium tax credits.

Recent changes to open enrollment dates have extended the amount of time individuals have to sign up for health insurance. When signing up for 2022 health insurance, those using the marketplace will have a full 75 days to choose a plan and complete the signup process.
What is Open Enrollment?
The short and simple answer is that open enrollment is the period of time each year when individuals can sign up for health insurance or change their plans. While certain qualifying events can make a person eligible to sign up outside of open enrollment, for the most part, applications and changes to coverage must be completed during this time.
Why is There an Open Enrollment Period?
You can enroll in most other types of insurance whenever you need them, so why is health insurance any different?
The purpose of the open enrollment period is to discourage what is known as adverse selection. This refers to a situation in which a person does not have health insurance, becomes sick, signs up for health insurance, and then cancels their plan once they are well.
When adverse selection becomes significant within a health insurance marketplace, it can skew the cost to insurance providers because healthy people are less likely to sign up. An open enrollment period encourages everyone to sign up and be covered in case the worst happens.
Many Types of Health Insurance Use Open Enrollment Periods
Not all types of health insurance use open enrollment periods, but many do. Some of the most common that do follow these periods are:
Medicare
Job-based health coverage
Individual market health coverage
If you plan to apply for one of these types of coverage or have one of these types of coverage and want to make changes to your plan, you will most likely need to do so during open enrollment.
The Open Enrollment Period for 2022
The dates for 2022 open enrollment include a larger window of dates than in previous years:
November 1st, 2021 – The Beginning of Open Enrollment
This is the first day an individual can enroll, re-enroll, or change their insurance plan via the Health Insurance Marketplace
December 15th, 2021 – The Last Day for Enrollment
For coverage that will begin January 1st, 2022, the last day to enroll is December 15th, 2021.
January 1st, 2022 – The First Day of Coverage
For individuals who have enrolled by December 15th and paid their first premium, coverage begins on January 1st.
January 15th, 2022 – Finally Day to Enroll or Amend Plans for 2022
If you do not make changes to your plan or sign up for a new plan by December 15th, you are not out of luck. You can still sign up until January 15th, 2022, but your starting date will not be the 1st of the year.
If you do not sign up or make changes by January 15th, 2022, you will need to have a qualifying event or wait until the open enrollment for 2023 coverage.
February 1st, 2022 – The First Day of Coverage
For those who signed up and paid their first premium after December 15th but before January 15th, coverage will begin on February 1st, 2022.
February 1st, 2022: 2022 coverage starts if you enrolled by January 15th, 2022, and you've paid your first premium.
Medicare Open Enrollment Dates Are Different
One important thing to note about the dates above is that they do not apply to Medicare open enrollment. The dates to sign up for Medicare Advantage and Part D plans are October 15th to December 7th each year.
Job-Based Open Enrollment Periods Can Be at Any Time
If you are covered by your employer’s group health insurance plan, they can set the open enrollment dates at any time they would like. That said, it is most common for them to have open enrollment in the fall to ensure coverage begins on the first of the year.
Qualifying Events Can Allow You to Get Health Insurance or Change Your Coverage After Open Enrollment
If you do not sign up for coverage during open enrollment, you will need to qualify for a Special Enrollment Period due to a qualifying event.
Examples of qualifying events include:
employment (whether voluntarily or not), aging off of a parent's health plan, the expiration of COBRA, and divorce, amongst others.
Moving: If you move out of your plan's service area or move somewhere that has different plans available, you can qualify for a Special Enrollment Period.MarriageHaving a baby or adopting a childNo longer being eligible for Medicaid or CHIPBecoming a member of a federally recognized tribe Status as an Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act Corporation shareholder Becoming a citizen of the United States
