Followup on Open Enrollment Period deadline

Wanted to follow up to my communication I sent regarding the Open Enrollment Deadline as it pertains to the Announcement,  per the Feds that Open Enrollment has been extended.

Here is the announcement I received from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS):

 March 26, 2014

As the initial Open Enrollment period for 2014 Marketplace coverage draws to a close, we wanted to alert you to important information regarding consumers who have started, but not completed, their FFM enrollment as of 11:59 PM ET on March 31, 2014.  Please see the attached documents for additional information about consumers who may be “in line” for enrollment as of March 31^st and consumers with "complex cases.” 

Please note this information only pertains to On Exchange Sales.  Off Exchange is still a strict deadline of 3-31 for a May 1^st effective date.  No Off Exchange sales will be processed after 3-31 unless it’s a Special Election Period triggered by a Qualifying Event with documentation of the Qualifying Event included.
