Explanation
A Qualifying Life Event (QLE) triggers a Special Enrollment Period (SEP), allowing you to enroll in or change health plans outside of the standard open enrollment window. Common QLEs include marriage, divorce, birth of a child, and loss of employer-sponsored coverage. You typically have 60 days from the event to enroll.
