Have New Baby.......will Travel

A consumer can qualify for a 60-day SEP by providing evidence of a major life change, such as a move to a new market, a marriage -- or "birth, adopting or fostering a child."

In the HHS-run exchanges, "this qualifying event applies to all family members on the application, not just the new child," CMS officials say in the fact sheet.

Adding a child to a family "will allow qualified individuals to enroll in a QHP even if they previously were not enrolled," officials say. "It also allows consumers who are currently enrolled in a QHP to select a different QHP."

As I pointed out last week, any change in household size (due to BIRTH or DEATH) creates a SEP for anyone/everyone in the household. There are so many Special Enrollment Period triggers that it's almost impossible not to get coverage for someone who truly wants it.
