#ACA Open Enrollment: 49 states +DC still have time for Feb. coverage! Here's 15 important things to remember:
The 2025 ACA Open Enrollment Period (OEP) officially begins on November 1st. This is the best OEP ever for the ACA for several reasons: The expanded/enhanced premium subsidies first introduced in 2021 via the American Rescue Plan, which make premiums more affordable for those who already qualified while expanding eligibility to millions who weren't previously eligible, are continuing through the end of 2025 via the Inflation Reduction Act; A dozen states are either launching, continuing or expanding their own state-based subsidy programs to make ACA plans even more affordable for their enrollees; 100,000 or more DACA recipients are finally eligible to enroll in ACA exchange plans & receive financial assistance!* *Note: There's still some uncertainty about this, as 19 Republican Attorneys General have filed a lawsuit to block this, and oral arguments were heard just a week or so ago, so it's conceivable that an injunction will be placed before November 1st. Update 12/09/24: As expected, a federal court has shot down the eligibility of DACA recipients to enroll in ACA exchange coverage in the 19 states involved in the lawsuit. In theory the roughly 2/3 of DACA recipients living in the other 31 states +DC should still be eligible.
