§ 155.420
Special enrollment periods.
(a) * * *
(3) Use of special enrollment periods
by qualified individuals. The Exchange
must allow a qualified individual, and
when specified in paragraph (d) of this
section, his or her dependent, who are
not enrolled in a QHP through the
Exchange, to enroll in a QHP if one of
the triggering events specified in
paragraph (d) of this section occur.
(4) Use of special enrollment periods
by enrollees. (i) If an enrollee has gained
a dependent in accordance with
paragraph (d)(2)(i) of this section, the
Exchange must allow the enrollee to add
the dependent to his or her current
QHP, or, if the QHP’s business rules do
not allow the dependent to enroll, the
Exchange must allow the enrollee and
his or her dependents to change to
another QHP within the same level of
coverage (or one metal level higher or
lower, if no such QHP is available), as
outlined in § 156.140(b) of this
subchapter, or enroll the dependent in
a separate QHP.
(ii) If an enrollee and his or her
dependents become newly eligible for
cost-sharing reductions in accordance
with paragraph (d)(6)(i) or (ii) and are
not enrolled in a silver-level QHP, the
Exchange must allow the enrollee and
his or her dependents to change to a
silver-level QHP if they elect to change
their QHP enrollment.
(iii) If an enrollee qualifies for a
special enrollment period through
another triggering event specified in
paragraph (d) of this section, except for
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:56 Feb 16, 2017
Jkt 241001
paragraph (d)(4), (d)(8), (d)(9), and
(d)(10), the Exchange must allow the
enrollee and his or her dependents to
make changes to their enrollment in the
same QHP or to change to another QHP
within the same level of coverage, as
outlined in § 156.140(b) of this
subchapter, provided that other QHPs at
that metal level are available.
(5) Prior coverage requirement.
Qualified individuals who are required
to demonstrate coverage in the 60 days
prior to a qualifying event can either
demonstrate that they had minimum
essential coverage as described in 26
CFR 1.5000A–1(b) for 1 or more days
during the 60 days preceding the date of
the qualifying event or that they lived
outside of the United States or in a
United States territory for 1 or more
days during the 60 days preceding the
date of the qualifying event.
(b) * * *
(5) Option for later coverage effective
dates due to prolonged eligibility
verification. At the option of the
consumer, the Exchange must provide
for a coverage effective date that is no
more than 1 month later than the
effective date specified in this paragraph
(b) if a consumer’s enrollment is
delayed until after the verification of the
consumer’s eligibility for a special
enrollment period, and the assignment
of a coverage effective date consistent
with this paragraph (b) would result in
the consumer being required to pay 2 or
more months of retroactive premium to
effectuate coverage or avoid termination
for non-payment.
*
*
*
*
*
(d) Triggering events. Subject to
paragraphs (a)(3) through (5) of this
section, the Exchange must allow a
qualified individual or enrollee, and,
when specified below, his or her
dependent, to enroll in or change from
QHP to another if one of the triggering
events occur:
*
*
*
*
*
(2) * * *
(i) * * *
(A) In the case of marriage, at least
one spouse must demonstrate having
minimum essential coverage as
described in 26 CFR 1.5000A–1(b) for 1
or more days during the 60 days
preceding the date of marriage.
