For Open Enrollment, if you complete an application between November 1st, 2022 and December 15th, 2022, your coverage will begin on January 1st, 2023.
If you have experienced a qualifying life event, your start date will depend on your qualifying life event! The Special Enrollment Period lasts all year long, though you need a qualifying life event in order to be eligible for this option.
Note: Your plan will not begin if you fail to make your first premium payment, called your "binder payment." Be sure to look out for emails from Stride and bills from your insurance company for more information!
For these life events, coverage will start on the 1st day of the month following enrollment: 1) Losing Medicaid or job-based coverage, 2) Marriage or registered domestic partnership, 3) COBRA ending, 4) Spouse losing coverage, or 5) Getting divorced
If you lose health insurance due to moving states or zip codes and need a new plan, you'll need to apply by the 15th of the month for your new plan to start at the beginning of the next month on the 1st. If you apply after the 15th of the month, your plan will start on the 1st of the following month.
For the birth or adoption of a child, or acceptance of a child into foster care, your coverage starts on the first day of the month following the birth, adoption, or placement in foster care but you can choose to have coverage start on the date of the birth, adoption, or placement in foster care, or on the first day of the month following enrollment.
