When will my ACA Plan coverage begin once I enroll?

If you enroll during the Open Enrollment Period and pay your first premium on or before December 15, 2022, your coverage will begin January 1, 2022. If you enroll after December 15, 2021 but before the Open Enrollment Period ends on January 15, 2022, and you pay your first premium on or before February 1, your coverage will begin on February 1, 2022.

You can find more information about Open Enrollment Period dates and deadlines here.

If you enroll during a Special Enrollment Period, your coverage start date will begin on the first day of the next calendar month or retroactive to a particular date, after you make your first premium payment, depending on your Qualifying Life Event.
