If you've lost health insurance coverage at any point this year, you can visit HealthCare.gov to enroll in healthcare coverage. This coverage may also be more affordable than using a health insurance extension from an employer under the federal COBRA provision. If you need help understanding your options, there is free help available either by calling 2-1-1 or visiting www.WisCovered.com. Additional Special Enrollment Period information can be found here. You may also be eligible to enroll if you have experienced a qualifying life event, such as getting married or having a baby.
