Make permanent a Special Enrollment Period for low-income individuals
Make permanent a Special Enrollment Period for low-income individuals to access ACA coverage.
Occurrences
Evidence
Politico reported that the Trump administration's final ACA marketplace rule eliminated the special enrollment period for households below 150% of the federal poverty level and said the changes would take effect for the 2026 plan year unless Congress acted.
Assessments
The underlying policy goal was briefly achieved by federal officials other than Goodlander: the low-income ACA Special Enrollment Period was made permanent by a 2024 federal rule before her House service began on January 3, 2025. There is no evidence here that Goodlander wrote, sponsored, or materially advanced that action, so she does not get full delivery credit. The June 2025 Trump administration rule then eliminated that SEP for the 2026 plan year unless Congress acts, meaning the promised outcome is not currently secured. That combination supports partial credit rather than delivered, while avoiding full 'never' because the policy objective did exist through unrelated federal action.
