In response to COVID-19, the federal government has opened a Special Enrollment Period (SEP) for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Health Insurance Marketplace through May 15. To help connect Illinoisans who need health insurance with the ACA Marketplace, we are hosting a free virtual information session on Thursday, April 8 at 6:00 PM.

This April 8th event will feature representatives of the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) and the Illinois Department of Insurance, who will discuss the special enrollment period of the ACA Marketplace, and provide information about the new SEP, including eligibility for the Medicaid program and how to enroll.

In addition to those who currently need to enroll for health insurance, this special enrollment period is open for existing ACA enrollees who would like to change plans within the ACA Marketplace. Unlike other SEPs, those who enroll now will not have to show documentation of a qualifying life event.
