When does my coverage begin?
The effective date of your plan depends on your method of payment. If you apply online and use a credit card, your coverage can begin as early as 24 hours later, provided that all other eligibility criteria have been met. If you apply by completing an application and mailing it along with a check payment, the earliest that your coverage will begin is the day after the postmark date, assuming you have met all other eligibility criteria.
You also have the option of selecting a coverage start date up to 60 days in the future with the exception of the 29th, 30th, or 31st of a month. Please note that although credit card payments are the fastest way to begin coverage, you may still obtain a Student Select plan without using that form of payment.
