Legislative Update
Updated Open and Special Enrollment FAQs on Marketplace Available

We have recently released updated frequently asked questions about open and special enrollment on Get Covered Illinois, the Official Health Marketplace of Illinois. We removed information that was not relevant now that the Marketplace has launched and added information about switching plans after enrolling.

Among the questions answered in the FAQs:

  • When does coverage on the Marketplace take effect?
  • If a person is covered as an individual in the Marketplace, can he decide to drop his Marketplace coverage?
  • If a person has employer-provided coverage, can he seek coverage on the Marketplace?
  • How will ACA affect COBRA eligibility?
