Consumers can enroll in a Covered California health plan or change their current plan only during Open Enrollment unless they experience a Qualifying Life Event (QLE)— this is called a Special Enrollment Period (SEP). During this period, Certified Enrollers may assist all consumers eligible for a Special Enrollment; they do not have the ability to complete new or in-progress applications without a defined Qualifying Life Event.

Please be advised that a state of emergency was declared, impacting individuals in certain TX counties. This declaration allows for a one-time Special Enrollment Period (SEP), in the event beneficiaries were unable to make an election during another qualifying election period. Please reference the following guidelines for the incident period. This SEP applies only to the Texas counties listed below.

Molina has extended the February binder payment for members in all states but New Mexico.
