(WSIL) -- On Sunday, August 15th, the 2021 Special Enrollment Period (SEP) in Response to COVID-19 will close. 

The Biden-Harris Administration opened the SEP for the ACA Health Insurance Marketplace in February.  Since then, more than 47-thousand Illinoisans have selected new health plans-- nearly double the enrollment during the same period last year.

IDOI Acting Director Dana Popish Severinghaus encourages eligible Illinoisans to select and enroll in a plan before the deadline. “If you need health insurance, there is still time to find an affordable health plan on the ACA Marketplace,â€Â said Popish Severinghaus. “More than 2.5 million people nationwide have already purchased health coverage during this Special Enrollment Period.â€�

Get Covered Illinois (GCI), a division of the Illinois Department of Insurance, is the official health marketplace or “exchange� for Illinois consumers to purchase quality, affordable health insurance, facilitated by the federal government through the ACA Marketplace.
