Life can change fast, and those shifts often impact your health insurance in ways that aren’t always clear in the moment. That’s why understanding Special Enrollment Periods can make a big difference when life updates happen.
A Special Enrollment Period gives you a 60‑day window before or after certain qualifying events to adjust or enroll in coverage outside the standard Open Enrollment Period. If you’ve experienced any of the following recently, it may be a good time to review your options:
• Marriage, divorce, or welcoming a new child
• Moving to a new ZIP code, county, or state
• Turning 26, losing job-based coverage, or changes in your employment status
• Adjustments to your income or household size
• Turning 65 and becoming eligible for Medicare, or gaining U.S. citizenship
Our team at McGrew & Maher Insurance Services is here to help you understand what qualifies and guide you through every step. Have questions or think you may be eligible for a Special Enrollment Period? Reach out anytime—we’re here to support you.
