When to Sign Up
The Open Enrollment period for 2025 starts on November 1, 2024, and ends on January 15, 2025. This is your only chance to get a health plan for the year unless you have a big life change.
If you miss this deadline, you might not have health coverage until next year. So, mark your calendar and sign up before January 15, 2025!
What If You Miss the Deadline?
If you miss signing up by January 15, 2025, you can’t get a plan until the next period in fall 2025. This means no coverage for a year.
But if you sign up before the deadline, you can avoid this problem. You might also qualify for a Special Enrollment if you have life changes like losing a job or moving.
