Effective April 1, 2009, a special enrollment period provision is added to comply with the requirements of the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act (CHIPRA) of 2009. If you or a dependent is covered under a Medicaid or CHIP plan and coverage is terminated as a result of the loss of eligibility for Medicaid or CHIP coverage, you may be able to enroll yourself and/or your dependent(s). However, you must enroll within 60 days after the date eligibility is lost. If you or a dependent becomes eligible for premium assistance under an applicable State Medicaid or CHIP plan to purchase coverage under the group health plan, you may be able to enroll yourself and/or your dependent(s). However, you must enroll within 60 days after you or your dependent is determined to be eligiblefor State premium assistance. Please note that premium assistance is not available in all states. If you or your children are eligiblefor Medicaid or CHIP and you’re eligible for health coverage from your employer, your state may have a premium assistance program that can help pay for coverage, using funds from their Medicaid or CHIP programs. If you or your children aren’t eligible for Medicaid or CHIP, you won’t be eligiblefor these premium assistance programs but you may be able to buy individual insurance coverage through the Health InsuranceMarketplace. For more information, visit www.healthcare.gov .
If you or your dependents are already enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP and you live in a State listed below, contact your State Medicaid or CHIP office to find out if premium assistance is available.
If you or your dependents are NOT currently enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP, and you think you or any of your dependents might be eligible for either of these programs, contact your State Medicaid or CHIP office or dial 1-877-KIDS NOW or www.insurekidsnow.gov to find out how to apply. If you qualify, ask your state if it has a program that might help you pay the premiums for an employer-sponsored plan. If you or your dependents are eligible for premium assistance under Medicaid or CHIP, as well as eligible under your employer plan, your employer must allow you to enroll in your employer plan if you aren’t already enrolled. This is called a “special enrollment” opportunity, and you must request coveragewithin 60 days of beingdetermined eligible for premium assistance. If you have questions about enrolling in your employer plan, contact the Department of Labor at www.askebsa.dol.gov or call 1-866-444- EBSA (3272).
