What Turning 26 Could Mean for Your Coverage

Turning 26 and losing qualifying coverage can be considered a qualifying life event, which may create a Special Enrollment Period outside the annual open enrollment window. Whether this applies to you, and how much time you have to act, depends on the specifics of your coverage loss and personal circumstances.

Because timing can be limited, it's generally a good idea to start exploring your options as soon as you know your coverage is ending.
