States reopen ACA exchanges for COVID-19 enrollment period | BenefitsPRO

At least seven states are now letting any resident who wants health coverage sign up for health coverage.

Seven states — Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New York, Rhode Island and Washington state — are offering the special enrollment periods (SEPs) directly in response to the threat of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes Covid-19 pneumonia.

In those states, enrollment deadlines range from April 2 through April 25.

I'm wondering when/if the FFM will have an open SEP? The marketplace already has a lag in reviewing SEP's, imagine if we have 2-3 million of them in the next few months.
