Navigator Tip of the Week: Special Enrollment Periods for Divorce or Legal Separation
4/14/2022 2:17:11 PM
Reporting a divorce or legal separation life event change (LEC) by itself will not deem a consumer eligible for a special enrollment period (SEP). One of the following life events must accompany these events to determine SEP eligibility:
- A consumer experiences a loss of health insurance coverage when enrolled through MNsure
- Disenrollment in a health insurance plan due to the loss of employer-sponsored insurance (ESI)
As a reminder:
- Loss of ESI should be reported as a qualifying event for SEP
- Consumers who experience a loss of ESI have 60 days from the last day of coverage to report their loss
