I found out on 7/16 that I am permanently laid off from my job. I was told I’d have my work health benefits until the end of the month. This week I applied for a marketplace health plan to start in August through Covered California.
I entered all my info in correctly, but I’m seeing that my health care plan effective start date is the 1st of September. I’m so confused! I need coverage to start the 1st of August. I can’t risk going a month without insurance right now. Is this a mistake on Covered California’s part? I’m going to call in the morning because they are closed now, but I’m freaking out because it makes no sense to me that they would expect me to skip a month of coverage, especially when I’m applying before August has even started. My qualifying life event was loss of employer based coverage.
Has this happened to anyone else? I couldn’t find any info about something like this, but it says on their website that coverage should start the 1st of the month after you’ve enrolled. Some life events seem to require you to enroll by the 15th, but not for loss of insurance. It seems insane that they’d expect people to simply be okay with agreeing to skipping a month of coverage. Do you think a call with them when they’re open would be able to fix this error? Thanks for any insight, and stay safe everyone!
