I hear there is a special enrollment opportunity for people with very low income. How does that work?

Starting August 25, 2025, the special enrollment opportunity that allowed individuals with incomes at or below 150% of the federal poverty level to sign up for Marketplace coverage year-round –simply due to their low income –was eliminated. Individuals at this income level might still qualify for special enrollment under other special enrollment events, such as when they lose coverage due to job loss or lose Medicaid coverage.
