Special Enrollment – Qualifying Life Event
We’ve got you covered. Apply today! CBHN and Covered California want to ensure that all uninsured Californians have access to affordable health insurance.
You can apply for a health plan outside open enrollment (or make changes to your current plan) if you’ve experienced a qualifying life event, usually within the last 60 days.
Qualified Life Events
A qualified life event is a circumstance that has occurred within the last 60 days. The 60 days are counted from the date the application is submitted. Some of the most common life events are:
- Involuntary loss of health insurance
- Permanently moved to/within California
- Had a baby
- Got married
- Turned 26 years old
- Change of household size
- Domestic abuse
- Natural disaster
Note: Special Enrollment does not apply to Medi-Cal applicants. These individuals can apply for coverage anytime during the year and do not need a Qualifying Life Event to gain coverage.
