Disaster SEP Update from Molina

Important CMS Update on Disaster SEPs

CMS has extended the length of the SEP when a disaster declaration is made by federal, state, or local governments. The previous rule allowed the SEP to last the entire incident period plus 2 months after the end date of the incident period (see 42 CFR 406.27 and 42 CFR 407.23). 

What you need to know about this disaster declaration SEP:

• Available for 6 months after the end of the disaster period. 
• Applies to disaster declarations made after January 1, 2023.
• Only applies in the event an individual was unable to make an election during a qualifying election period due to a declared emergency.
