Marketplace Enrollment Periods

Are there special timelines for enrolling in the Marketplace for people who lose Medicaid or CHIP?

Published: Sep 29, 2025

In HealthCare.gov states, the special enrollment period due to loss of Medicaid or CHIP is 90 days, which means consumers will have up to 90 days after loss of Medicaid or CHIP to enroll in Marketplace coverage.  

In State-based Marketplaces, the special enrollment period following loss of Medicaid or CHIP coverage is 90 days; however, SBMs have the option to extend the special enrollment period beyond 90 days. Check with your state Marketplace for more information.
