FEMA disaster Special Election Periods can be utilized if members missed a valid enrollment period. True or False?

The statement is true because FEMA disaster Special Election Periods (SEPs) are specifically designed to assist individuals who have experienced certain disasters, allowing them the opportunity to enroll in or make changes to their Medicare Advantage or Part D plans outside of the typical enrollment periods. This provision is crucial for those who may have missed their valid enrollment period due to disaster-related circumstances, ensuring that they have access to necessary healthcare options in times of crisis. Eligibility for these SEPs includes individuals affected by federally declared disasters, which underscores the importance of timely healthcare access during emergencies.
