It’s time to get UPP if:

  • You and/or your family are not currently enrolled in your employer-sponsored health insurance,
  • If you have begun a new job.
  • If you are eligible for COBRA
  • If you are already enrolled in COBRA coverage
  • If you have health insurance offered at work and are not yet enrolled, you must apply for
  • UPP BEFORE the date that your health insurance coverage begins.
  • If you’re eligible to add your spouse or your child(ren) to your health insurance, then it’s time for them to get UPP, too.

As of July 1, 2008 approval for UPP is also considered a qualifying event for applicants to enroll in their employer-sponsored health insurance plan at any time. Applicants do not have to wait for the annual open-enrollment to enroll, if approved for UPP. For more information call 1-888-222-2542 or click here.
