If you're incarcerated, unless you are pending the disposition of charges, you can't enroll in a plan through Get Covered Illinois. For the purposes of eligibility for coverage through Get Covered Illinois, "incarcerated" means serving a term in prison or jail. If convicted, you'll no longer be eligible for Marketplace coverage while you're in jail or prison serving a sentence.
Incarceration doesn't include being on probation, parole, or home confinement.
You're not considered incarcerated if you're in jail or prison but haven't been convicted of a crime.
After you're released, you have a 60-day Special Enrollment Period (SEP) to sign up for health coverage through Get Covered Illinois even if it is outside of the annual Open Enrollment Period.
If you're in jail or prison but haven't been convicted of a crime, you can create an account or log in to use Get Covered Illinois to buy a private health insurance plan.
