Open Enrollment on Virginia’s Insurance Marketplace runs from November 1, 2024 to January 15, 2025. During this time, Virginians can sign up for Marketplace health insurance coverage or change their existing coverage. Enhanced financial assistance that helps with covering premium costs is still in effect, meaning more people than ever qualify for free or low-cost coverage through the Marketplace.
Virginia’s Insurance Marketplace also extended the Unwinding Special Enrollment Period (SEP) through December 31, 2024. This means that people losing Medicaid or FAMIS coverage can still sign up for Marketplace coverage at any point through the end of the year (and can still get coverage through January 15, 2025, during Open Enrollment). Beginning in January 2025, there will be permanent change to the SEP for people losing Medicaid and FAMIS: they will have 90 days after losing Medicaid or FAMIS to sign up for Marketplace coverage, rather than the shorter 60-day window given for other SEPs.
