I am a lawfully present immigrant who is not eligible yet to receive Georgia Medicaid(Medical Assistance). Is there a way I can enroll in Georgia Access during the Special Enrollment Period?

Yes! Georgia Access has added a new Qualifying Life Event (QLE) for those who have an annual income equal to or below the 150% Federal Poverty Level (FPL).

If you are a lawfully present immigrant and are not able to enroll through Georgia Medical Assistance (Georgia Medicaid/PeachCare for Kids®) yet, you may qualify to enroll in coverage through Georgia Access and enroll under this qualifying life event. To do so, follow these steps below:

• Go to Georgia Access, click Get Covered, and submit a new Georgia Access application.
• If you qualify, a Special Enrollment Period (SEP) will automatically open!
• Once the SEP opens, you will have 60-days to enroll in a plan through Georgia Access. Once you enroll, coverage will begin the start of the following month.
