Health Insurance Open Enrollment 2026

Open Enrollment for private health insurance for 2026 continues until January 31, 2026. You must enroll in a plan by January 31 to begin coverage on February 1. If you miss Open Enrollment, you will most likely not be able to get a private health insurance plan at any point during 2026 – even from an insurance broker. Please note that subsidies are lower this year, so premiums will be higher than last year.

Unfortunately, we no longer have appointments available at the LRRC to assist with the application process. However, you can complete the application on your own by visiting getcovered.nj.gov, or by calling 833-677-1010. See brochures below for more information. As a reminder, after January 31st, you will not be able to purchase or switch private insurance plans in 2026, even through an insurance broker.

PLEASE NOTE:

If you are currently active on NJ FamilyCare and have not received a termination letter, do not fill out this form, even if you believe you are no longer eligible. You will be eligible for a Special Enrollment Period to enroll in private health insurance once you receive a termination notice. If you need private insurance for 2026, please contact the LRRC for guidance.

If you receive a NJ FamilyCare renewal packet, do not ignore it! All renewal packets must be returned by the due date.
