• Speak directly to a licensed agent and receive quotes from multiple insurance companies at no cost.
• Access any qualifying federal subsidies as part of the enrollment process.
• Enroll in medical, dental, vision, life, disability, and Medicare coverage programs.

- 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. If you miss that 60-day window, you will have to wait until Open Enrollment.
