Key questions

  • What is the coverage end date?
  • Is COBRA available, and what does the employer notice say?
  • Should the user check Medicaid or CHIP state-agency context before Marketplace comparison?

Suggested next steps

  • Open the job-coverage-loss playbook first.
  • Use the SEP planning check only after identifying the event and dates.
  • Keep employer, Marketplace, and Medicaid notices available for verification.
