Louise, have you seen any estimates of potential impact here? Didn’t see anything in the CBO letter…

Plan to see more from me in a few months though - currently on parental leave for our new addition, Jasper, who is already much beloved by his big sister. 😊

Found a citation from the wonderful Louise Norris so I’m feeling very confident saying he’s got until the end of the month! www.healthinsurance.org/obamacare/qu...

I will double check with one of our experts to be sure and circle back, but that was my read from a quick glance at the operating docs!

If he already has ACA coverage in a federal marketplace state it should be relatively straightforward! Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

Pretty sure move SEP now follows “accelerated prospective effective dates” as of the 2024 NBPP, for what it’s worth! (You used to have to apply by mid month, should now have until end from a quick peek at the FFM enrollment manual…)

Oops, I’m new here and didn’t realize I can’t DM! He should be able to apply by the end of this month and I believe (as of 2024, new rules) get a 12/1 start date. If he needs support our consumer advocates can help, 855-772-2663

Hi! Will DM you but in short yes, he’ll get a special enrollment period 👍🏻

Extremely honored to be included! (And also now slightly less confused about the sudden influx of followers 😂)

I remember when D was born and my sister got a puppy at the same time, we were frequently both up at 5am and grumpy about it 😂
