SEP RESOURCES
The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) recently updated their reference chart on Special Enrollment Periods (SEPs). The reference chart goes through the available SEPs and provides helpful information, such as whether someone needed to be covered before and the timing for the SEP. CBPP also conducted a recent webinar on SEPs, and now that webinar has been archived. Here are links to the slides and video recording.

Last year, we published a blog post which highlights news stories that we have published as well as several resources on Medicaid work requirements. We recently added new posts from CBPP which look at new proposals in Montana and West Virginia which would add work requirements and another post on some states which are reconsidering adding work requirements.
We recently released our Call to Action to the disability community to learn about the All of Us Research Program and consider participation. If you want to learn more about our project with the NIH’s All of Us Research Project, check out the Frequently Asked Questions document about the program.
Are you looking for local partners to help with outreach to the disability community? The NDNRC has Community Outreach Collaboratives (COCs) which work to increase collaborations in the community, dissemination and outreach efforts and enrollment of people with disabilities in the ACA marketplace. You can find a COC, on the COC page of our website.
Archives of our weekly updates are available on the NDNRC website.
