Home Whole Life Insurance Is Widely Misunderstood. Here’s What It’s Actually For. The debate…
This guide breaks down SEP “need-to-knows” in plain language—so you can take the next step with confidence.
A Qualifying Life Event (QLE) is a change in your situation—like losing coverage, getting married, or moving—that can unlock an SEP. Here are some of the most common QLE categories:
Life doesn’t always follow an enrollment calendar. Maybe you changed jobs, moved, welcomed a new baby, or lost coverage unexpectedly. The good news: you may be able to sign up for health insurance outside Open Enrollment through a Special Enrollment Period (SEP).
This guide breaks down SEP “need-to-knows” in plain language—so you can take the next step with confidence.
A Special Enrollment Period is a window of time that lets you enroll in (or change) a Marketplace health plan outside the yearly Open Enrollment Period—if you have a qualifying life change.
Think of it like a “life happens” exception. When certain events affect your coverage or household, the Marketplace may allow you to pick a new plan without waiting for the next Open Enrollment.
any SEP opportunities are time-sensitive.
Most people have 60 days after a qualifying event to enroll (and in some cases, you may be able to enroll up to 60 days before you lose coverage).
If you lost Medicaid or CHIP, you may have up to 90 days (depending on the Marketplace rules where you live).
If you’re not sure when your clock starts, it’s still worth checking—because missing the window can mean waiting until Open Enrollment.

How We Help
From choosing coverage to using it, we’re here to help you make confident decisions at every stage.
Choosing coverage is just the beginning. We’re here to help you navigate coverage, adapt as life changes, and feel confident in the protection you carry every day.
Every policy has fine print, limits, deductibles, exclusions, and pricing differences that aren’t always obvious upfront.
We walk through how this coverage actually works, what affects the cost, and what you can expect if you ever need to use it. The goal is clarity, not confusion.
This coverage is one piece of your overall protection.
We help you see how it fits with what you already have, whether that’s other policies, bundled options, or existing protections, so everything works together the way it should.
Coverage doesn’t have to stop at protection alone.
As a Catch member, you may also have access to perks, savings opportunities, and rewards that add practical value beyond the policy itself. It’s about getting more from what you’re already paying for.
Deciding on coverage isn’t the end of the conversation.
