The Special Enrollment Period (SEP) for health insurance ends this Thursday April 30th.
Most folks will have to wait until 10/1/2015 to enroll for coverage which starts on 1/1/2016 at the earliest. That’s 8 months with no coverage!
What is the ‘SEP” special enrollment period? It’s a time outside of the open enrollment period during which you and your family have a right to sign up for health coverage.
In the Marketplace, you qualify for a special enrollment period 60 days following certain life events from an approved short list that involves a change in family status (for example, marriage or birth of a child) or loss of other health coverage.

Please Note: It’s too late to avoid the “2015 penalty” by obtaining coverage now.
