CMS created a Marketplace Special Enrollment Period for individuals who lose Medicaid coverage due to the end of the continuous enrollment condition, also known as “unwinding.” This so-called “unwinding SEP” allows individuals losing Medicaid eligibility between April 1, 2023, and July 31, 2024, to enroll in a Marketplace plan during that timeframe. “Unwinding” refers to the states’ requirement to reverify the eligibility of all Medicaid enrollees within 12 months when COVID-19 continuous coverage provisions end on Friday, March 31.
