With special enrollment period (SEP) season upon us, remember for loss of employer-sponsored insurance (ESI), a verification document must include the type of coverage lost and the last date of coverage and can be one of the following:

• Letter from health insurance company
• Letter from employer
• Employer plan

Verification documents that indicate a voluntary termination or non-payment of premiums will not be accepted.

It is also important to note that during the public health emergency (PHE), there should be no loss of public program qualifying life events (QLEs) reported for SEP eligibility determination. A voluntary request to close Medical Assistance for MinnesotaCare coverage is NOT a qualifying life event.
