Life Changes That May Require New Health Insurance Coverage

Life is full of changes—some planned, some unexpected. While these milestones can bring new opportunities, they can also impact your health insurance needs. At Truce Benefits, we help you understand how certain life events create a Special Enrollment Period (SEP), allowing you to enroll in or change your health plan outside the regular open enrollment window.

Below are common life events that may mean it’s time to review and update your coverage:

  • Financial Protection

    Medical expenses can add up quickly, protect yourself.

  • Access to Quality Care

    Receive routine check-ups, preventive care, and treatment.

  • Peace of Mind

    Focus on growing your business.

  • Attract Employees

    Make your business more competitive in the job market.

1. Divorce or Legal Separation

A divorce or legal separation can leave one or both parties without access to employer-sponsored health insurance. If you lose coverage through a spouse, you have a limited window to secure a new plan—whether through the ACA marketplace, COBRA, or a private policy.

 

2. Death of a Spouse or Family Member

Losing a loved one is already difficult. If they were the primary policyholder, their passing could leave you without coverage. We can guide you through finding a new plan quickly, so you remain protected during this challenging time.

 

3. Turning 26 and Aging Out of a Parent’s Plan

Under current law, you can remain on a parent’s health plan until you turn 26. Once you reach that birthday, you’ll need to secure your own coverage. We can help you find an affordable plan that fits your needs, whether you’re working, freelancing, or between jobs.

 

4. Marriage or Domestic Partnership

Getting married often opens new coverage options, such as joining your spouse’s employer plan or finding a marketplace plan together. We can help you compare the cost and benefits of each choice.

 

5. Birth or Adoption of a Child

Welcoming a child into your family means adding them to your health plan or finding coverage that meets your growing family’s needs. Acting quickly ensures there’s no gap in your child’s care.

 

6. Job Loss or Change in Employment

If you lose your job—or your employer stops offering health benefits—you may qualify for COBRA, marketplace coverage, or a private plan. Even a shift from full-time to part-time work can affect your eligibility for benefits.

 

7. Relocation to a New State

Moving to a new state usually means you’ll need to change your health plan, as most insurance networks are location-specific. We’ll help you transition smoothly to a plan that works in your new home.

 

8. Significant Income Change

A substantial increase or decrease in household income can impact your eligibility for subsidies or Medicaid. Reviewing your plan after an income change ensures you’re paying the right amount and getting the right benefits.
