When is the open enrollment period for the Marketplace?

Asked a year ago
The open enrollment period for the Marketplace typically runs from November 1st to December 15th each year. During this time, individuals and families can enroll in a health insurance plan or make changes to their existing coverage. It is important to note that outside of this timeframe, individuals may only be eligible for enrollment under special circumstances such as losing job-based coverage, getting married or having a child. Applying during the open enrollment period ensures that you have coverage starting January 1st of the following year. Furthermore, certain states may have extended enrollment periods, so it is advisable to check with your local Marketplace or healthcare.gov for specific dates based on your location.
