NJDOBI Bulletin No. 21-03 – Individual Exchange COVID-19 Open Enrollment Period Extended Through 5/15/2021
Published: 01.29.2021
As part of New Jersey’s ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department of Banking and Insurance is issuing this bulletin to advise carriers and other interested parties that an emergency COVID-19 Special Enrollment Period (“SEP”) will be in effect beginning at the end of the annual open enrollment period, on February 1, 2021 and extending through May 15, 2021. Creating this SEP helps to ensure that New Jersey residents have access to quality affordable health insurance during this critical time in which the need to protect public health is paramount. Specifically, the SEP will make sure that individual market coverage is available to uninsured individuals during the pandemic. It also aligns New Jersey with the recently announced federal Special Enrollment Period, which runs through May 15, 2021.Visit the NJDOBI_Bulletin 21-03_Individual Exchange for details.
