ACA Open Enrollment: Key Dates You Can't Miss
The Importance of Health Coverage
Health coverage is more than just a safety net; it's a crucial component of financial stability and peace of mind. As ACA Open Enrollment begins, it marks a critical opportunity for individuals and families to secure or update their health insurance plans. We understand that navigating the complexities of insurance can feel overwhelming, but knowing the key dates can simplify the process immensely. Now is the time to prepare to ensure you and your family have the coverage you need.
Key ACA Open Enrollment Dates
- November 1, 2025: First day to enroll, renew, or change a plan for 2026.
- December 15, 2025: Deadline for coverage starting January 1, 2026.
- January 15, 2026: Final day of open enrollment. Plans selected by this date will begin February 1, 2026.
After January 15, changes to your health insurance plan can only be made if you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period due to a significant life event, such as marriage, birth, or loss of coverage.
