Important: Visit Special Enrollment Period (SEP) -FEMA / State Declarations to see if there is an active disaster SEP declared in your state. An SEP may be granted to individuals that reside in an affected service area where a Federal, State or Local Government Entity has declared a State of Emergency impacting individuals in a specific geographical area. The declaration allows for a one-time SEP, in the event an individual was unable to make an election during another qualifying election period.
