The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has extended the temporary SEP to help people who are no longer eligible for Medicaid or CHIP transition to Marketplace coverage in states using HealthCare.gov.
The end date of this “Unwinding SEP” has been extended from July 31, 2024, to November 30, 2024, which will help more people leaving Medicaid or CHIP secure affordable, comprehensive coverage through the start of the next Open Enrollment Period. This extension is crucial to ensuring people remain covered, including in states that have given children or other groups additional time to renew their coverage, as CMS has recommended, to help eligible people stay enrolled.
