On February 3, 2021, Commissioner Anderson released Bulletin 2021-02, providing a special enrollment period (SEP) on the state exchange as a part of the state’s ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The SEP is in effect from February 3, 2021, through May 23, 2021. As background, individuals may usually only elect coverage through the state exchange during open enrollment or special enrollment periods.
Although this change affects the individual market, employers should keep this in mind as it would likely create a qualifying event that would allow for an employee to potentially drop employer coverage (for themselves or their dependents) to go on the Massachusetts exchange.
