What is a Life Qualifying Event?

Missing open enrollment doesn’t have to mean missing out on health coverage.

Certain changes in your life can qualify you for a Special Enrollment Period in 2022, meaning you can get or change health coverage outside of open enrollment.

These life changes are called “qualifying life events,” often referred to as QLE

 

Here are examples of qualifying life events that may make you eligible for health coverage:
