Oregon Special Enrollment Periods

You may be able to enroll or change Marketplace coverage outside Open Enrollment after certain qualifying life events.

Common qualifying events

  • Loss of other health coverage
  • Marriage
  • Birth or adoption
  • Moving to a new area
  • Changes in household or other qualifying circumstances

Timing matters

If your qualifying event is losing employer insurance, see the job-change coverage checklist and confirm your deadline with the official Marketplace.

Special Enrollment Period rules vary by event. Most Special Enrollment Periods last 60 days from the qualifying event, but specific rules can apply.

Not sure whether your situation qualifies?

The event itself is only part of the picture. When it happened, the coverage you had before the change, and other circumstances can affect your enrollment options and deadlines. You do not need to sort that out before contacting me—I can help you work through what applies to your situation.

If you think you may have a qualifying life event, keep any notices or documentation about the change and act promptly so you do not miss an enrollment window.
