[Question - Insurance] Do I have to pay for previous months to enroll during SEP?

I have the option to elect for COBRA or to buy a plan from the ACA marketplace. I know that if I elect COBRA at the end of the 60 day window, I have to pay the premiums retroactively dating back to the qualifying event (losing my job). Will the same apply if I buy a marketplace plan? I don't see anywhere that states so, and when using healthcare.gov it says that my plan will become effective at the beginning of the coming month. If I don't have to pay previous months, I'll probably go with the marketplace plan. Can anyone confirm that I won't be paying previous months?
