Which life event would NOT typically qualify for a Special Enrollment Period?

A change in employment would not typically qualify for a Special Enrollment Period (SEP) under most circumstances. SEPs are designed to allow individuals to enroll in health insurance outside of the Open Enrollment Period due to specific life changes that affect their eligibility for coverage. Such changes usually include significant life events like marriage, divorce, death of a family member, or a change of residence, all of which directly impact an individual's need for new health coverage.

In the case of employment changes, while they can indeed affect health insurance options (such as losing a job and therefore losing employer-sponsored coverage), simply changing jobs—where new health coverage options might still be available—doesn’t automatically create an eligibility for a SEP.

Hence, it’s important to distinguish between employment-related changes that lead to a loss of coverage (which could qualify for a SEP) and those that do not impact one’s existing insurance status directly. The latter scenario doesn’t fulfill the conditions necessary for a Special Enrollment Period.
