Upcoming Changes to the

Disaster/Emergency SEP

On December 3, 2024, CMS announced a change regarding how beneficiaries will make an election using the Disaster/Emergency Special Election Period (SEP) for individuals affected by a government entity-declared disaster/emergency.

Effective April 1, 2025, plans will no longer be able to accept applications from beneficiaries that are using this SEP. Beneficiaries themselves must instead call 1-800-MEDICARE to make an election using the Disaster/Emergency SEP.

If we receive an application using this SEP on or after April 1, 2025, the application will be treated as incomplete and placed on RFI seeking another election.

For more information, please review the CMS memorandum located here.
