With the end of Open Enrollment, consumers would normally need to experience a qualifying life event in order to enroll in new Marketplace health insurance coverage throughout the year. This year, there is a new Special Enrollment Period (SEP) now available for people with lower incomes. Those eligible for this SEP can enroll in a plan or switch plans at any time during the year.

A full chart of FPL guidelines for larger family sizes can be found here.
